HC Deb 03 February 1975 vol 885 cc418-9W
Mr. Frank R. White

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he took into account at the time of making his decision on the Picc-Vic rail tunnel project the high level of land investment towards this project made by the Bury Metropolitan District Council.

Mr. David Young

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in reaching his decision on the Picc-Vic rail tunnel project, he considered the high level of land investment in the Bolton metropolitan area by the local authority.

Mr. Mulley

It is for the responsible local authorities to consider the implications of my recent decision on the level of estimated expenditure on transport matters in 1975–76 by the Greater Manchester Council which could be accepted for the calculation for transport supplementary grant.
