Mr. Patrick McNair-Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to resume the public planning inquiry into the application by Shell UK Ltd. to explore for oil in the Denny Inclosure in the New Forest; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Giles Shaw
This inquiry is due to be resumed on 4 May 1982, and it would therefore be wrong for my right hon. Friend to make a statement at this time on the issues raised by Shell UK's planning application.
