HC Deb 25 November 1975 vol 901 cc99-100W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied that suitable larger premises were not available for the public inquiry into the Airedale trunk road.

Mr. Carmichael

Yes.

Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will request the inspector conducting the inquiry into the Airedale trunk road to produce a timetable for the inquiry so that all objectors will have access and, in particular, such people as shift workers without losing an excessive amount of time off work.

Mr. Carmichael

My hon. Friend is no doubt aware of the disturbances that have affected the inquiry so far. When the inquiry proceeds in any orderly way the inspector will produce a programme for the inquiry and arrange timings.
