HC Deb 21 July 1972 vol 841 cc194-5W
Sir R. Cary

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the housing clearances intended by the Manchester Corporation in Ladybarn Village, he will order a public inquiry to be held so that the residents of Ladybarn can present and formulate their views and present alternative schemes.

Mr. Eyre

As I informed my hon. Friend on 17th July, a public local inquiry will be held into any order requiring the Secretary of State's confirmation to which there are statutory objections. It will be open to those affected by the order to put forward alternative proposals for dealing with housing conditions in the clearance areas.—[Vol. 841, c 52.]
