HC Deb 20 February 1973 vol 851 cc69-70W
Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has agreed to a public inquiry into the merits or demerits of the proposed Eastern Way Relief Road at Sevenoaks; and whether he can yet state the date of this inquiry.

Mr. Speed

I understand that the Kent County Council is preparing revised proposals for this road. My right hon. and learned Friend has asked to be kept informed, and will decide whether a planning inquiry is necessary when the result of the council's reconsideration is known.
