§ Mr. BurnsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to inform Chelmsford borough council of his decision on the King's Head Meadow pipeline scheme; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe Department wrote to Chelmsford borough council on 21 February 1989 inviting a fresh application under the in-and-out scheme because the information contained in the original application had been made invalid by my right hon. Friend's decision on the associated compulsory purchase order. A revised application with up-to-date details was received by the Department on 10 April. A decision on this application will be made as soon as possible.
