§ 50. Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the water shortage in Hull during spring and summer of 1973, he will permit the city council to complete as part of Operation Eyesore those schemes which were delayed because of the water shortage.
§ Mr. RipponI appreciate the special circumstances under which these projects were delayed, but I can allow grant only on the work done before 10th May 1973; only one of the projects had been started by that date. Apart from these three stone-cleaning projects, other schemes to the total value of nearly £150,000 were approved under Operation Eyesore in Hull.
