HC Deb 10 April 1981 vol 2 c378W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) on what grounds the application submitted by the Association of Waterloo Groups has not been called in for the current public inquiry concerning the Coin Street sites;

(2) whether, in view of the imminence of the Greater London Council elections, he will instruct the postponement of the Coin Street public inquiry;

(3) whether he is satisfied that it is an appropriate use of public funds to begin an inquiry into the future of the Coin Street sites less than a month before the Greater London Council elections.

Mr. Heseltine

I have asked my inspector for an urgent report on these matters and will write to the hon. Member as soon as I have reached a decision.
