HC Deb 19 October 1994 vol 248 c266W
Mr. Spring

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will be involved in the decision to be taken on the discontinuance order made by Mid Suffolk district council seeking to restrict flying at Crowfield airfield, Suffolk.

Mr. Gummer

As the airfield is close to my home and constituency, I have delegated the taking of a decision on the discontinuance order to my right hon. Friend the Minister for Construction and Planning in accordance with the long-standing convention that planning Ministers do not take decisions where they have a personal or constituency interest.
