HC Deb 18 May 1976 vol 911 cc506-7W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has replied to the letter of the Chief Executive of Tayside Region, sent to him on 19th December 1975, giving advice on whether the regional council or district council is the appropriate authority on which Mr. and Mrs. Matthews may serve a "blight" notice in respect of 8 Arbroath Road, Dundee; if he will explain the reason for the delay; and if he will now indicate which authority is the appropriate one for service of the notice.

Mr. McElhone

Both authorities were informed on 29th April that Tayside Regional Council is the appropriate authority for this purpose. Before the decision could be given, the councils had each to be afforded an opportunity to comment on the other's representations.
