§ 77. Mr. MARCHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether overtures have been made to his Department for financial assistance to enable certain 1975 improvements to be carried out at the South West India Docks, Poplar, thereby creating work for the unemployed; whether his Department proposes to give such assistance; and, if not, will he bring these, proposals to the notice of the Cabinet Committee on Unemployment?
§ Major BARNSTONI have been asked to reply. My hon. Friend understands that the late Government was inquiring whether the Port of London Authority were in a position to put in hand any of the developments which they had in contemplation, including the scheme referred to, and, as stated in reply to the hon. Member's question yesterday by my hon. Friend, further inquiries are being made.
