Mr. Stallard

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether he is now in a position to announce the date and place of the public inquiry which is to be held into the proposal to demolish parts of Camden High Street to make way for a magistrates' court;

(2) if he will take steps to ensure that wide publicity is given to the inquiry which is to be held into the Government proposal to demolish shops, workshops, offices and houses in Camden High Street, London NW1;

(3) what representations he has received concerning the Government proposal to demolish residential, business and commercial properties in Camden High Street, London NW1, in order to erect a magistrates' court.

Mr. Channon

As a result of representations received from Camden London Borough Council and local inhabitants my right hon. and learned Friend decided to hold a non-statutory inquiry into the proposal by the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District to erect a magistrates' court in Camden High Street. This will be held as soon as possible. Publicity for the inquiry will be in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 1969.
