§ 64. Mr. Liptonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will announce his decision on the appeal by the London borough of Lambeth heard by a Ministry inspector in December 1972 following the refusal by the London borough of Croydon to allow Lambeth to build houses on 72 acres of land owned by Lambeth which would provide homes for 1,548 people, together with a children's recreation centre with a swimming pool and some children's housing.
§ Mr. ChannonI have recently heard that the South West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board wishes to pursue its proposal to build a new district general hospital at Shirley Oaks on the Lambeth appeal site. This is new information relevant to the appeal and I have given the local authorities concerned and the board preliminary notice of it. I have sent the hon. Member a copy of the letter.
