§ Mr. Traceyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will announce his decision on the proposed STOLport in London Docklands as soon as the current legal proceedings have been concluded.
§ Mr. Patrick Jenkin[pursuant to the answer, 18 February 1985, c. 332]: When my Department invited comments on the new evidence last August. I said that I was minded to grant the planning appeal. The recent judicial review in the High Court rejected the case for reopening the inquiry to consider what evidence and both the GLC and Newham have now decided not to appeal. The STOLport application has raised a number of complex issues which, obviously, must be both carefully considered by me and reflected in the decision letter. I am anxious to issue my decision as soon as possible and hope to do so within two or three weeks.
