HC Deb 15 June 1978 vol 951 c629W
Mr. Costain

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to prevent irresponsible minorities from disrupting public inquiries on planning matters.

Mr. Shore

The problems encountered at some highway inquiries were amongst the matters dealt with in the recent White Paper "The Review of Highway Inquiry Procedures" (Cmnd. 7133), about which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport made a statement to the House on 4th April.—[Vol. 947; c.239.]

I have no evidence that there is a significant problem with planning inquiries.
