§ Sir Donald Kaberryasked the Minister of Transport what instructions have been given by his Department to authorise stopping up roads and footpaths in the vicinity of the Leeds-Bradford airport at Yeadon, Leeds, prior to the holding of a public inquiry into the proposed authorisation of any extension to the runway.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNone. A draft order under section 209 of the Town and Country Planning Act has been published on the application of the West Yorkshire metropolitan county council. The order, if made, would authorise the stopping up of certain highways, the provision of new highways, and the improvement of existing highways. Objections to the proposals will be considered at the public inquiry to be held at the Town Hall, Yeadon, commencing on 4 September.
There is no question of the stopping-up order being made before the public inquiry.
