HC Deb 28 March 1974 vol 871 c194W
Sir Marcus Worsley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to prevent the practice whereby the effect of an enforcement notice requiring the discontinuance of a use which is only intended to be short-term can be nullified by an exercise of the right of appeal before the result of which the use can at present be legally continued.

Mr. John Silkin

I am asking Mr. Dobry to look at enforcement problems generally and I should prefer to await his findings.
