§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether it is his policy to appoint, to conduct planning inquiries into proposed road schemes, inspectors who have already reported on neighbouring and related developments and who, in so doing, have commented publicly upon aspects of the proposed schemes.
§ Mrs. ChalkerNo. Inspectors for inquiries are nominated by the Lord Chancellor, but if the Secretary of State thought that an inspector might be prejudiced in conducting an inquiry by his experience on any previous inquiry or by any comments he had made, he would not appoint him.
