§ Sir David Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to make a determination upon the results of the public inquiry into the Eastleigh borough council town centre compulsory purchase order, which was completed on 18 June 1982; and what has been the reason for the delay in reaching a decision.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneI expect to take the decision shortly. The delay in reaching a decision has been due to complex legal and other issues which were raised at the public inquiry and which have required lengthy consideration.
