HC Deb 06 July 1984 vol 63 c329W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his practice to make public all advice, including briefing notes from his Department, given to inspectors at planning inquiries.

Mr. Macfarlane

Briefing notes are already made available on request to anyone reasonably entitled to know what they contain from the opening of an inquiry or the opening of any pre-inquiry meeting until six weeks after the issue of the decision.
