HC Deb 03 July 1974 vol 876 c167W
67. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take into account the report by the Council on Tribunals on delays in the disposal of planning appeals in considering what action to take in this regard.

Mr. John Silkin

The council's report covers the period up to the end of July 1973, and since then some of the measures referred to have been implemented. An examination of the arrangements for dealing with appeals is being undertaken by Mr. George Dobry, QC, as part of his review of the development control system.
