23. Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what assistance is provided to inspectors in his Department in hearing appeals; and if he is satisfied that the current arrangements are sufficient to enable them to reach satisfactory decisions in timely fashion.

General administrative support is provided by the Planning Inspectorate. I am satisfied that this is adequate.
