asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has yet received the information he needs to complete his consideration of the Brookwood Lye Action Group's request for reimbursement of the costs incurred by it at the abortive first public inquiry relating to land at Brookwood Lye, Woking.

A letter was sent to the action group on 13 May setting out the proposed basis of reimbursement. Substantiation of the action group's costs will be needed but we hope that the matter can now be settled quickly.
