HC Deb 17 February 1986 vol 92 c35W
Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the London Docklands Development Corporation has received any request for planning permission in respect of the erection of barbed wire fences at the News International plant at Wapping; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

Planning permission for the development, including fencing, was granted by the London borough of Tower Hamlets prior to the existence of the LDDC. Certain features of the fences, however, may not comply with the permission. The LDDC has taken up the matter with News International.
