HC Deb 08 February 1979 vol 962 c291W
Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the reason for his Department's delay in publishing the report of the public inquiry into Ford aerodrome; and when the report is now expected to be available.

Mr. Guy Barnett

An inspector's report to my right hon. Friend on a public inquiry is normally published with the decision letter to which it relates. My right hon. Friend's decision on appeals against enforcement notices relating to use of land at Ford airfield will be issued to the parties in the next few days and a copy of the inspector's report will accompany it. My right hon. Friend regrets that the complexity of the case has meant that it took some time to resolve.
