§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the grant aid available for the development of a transport museum at Low Moor in Bradford; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierThe site of the proposed West Yorkshire Transport Museum at Low Moor, Bradford, was reclaimed with the help of derelict land grant.
Additional funds may be available through the urban programme, but the Department is able to consider grant assistance only on those projects which local authorities are minded to support.
Assistance may be available from the European regional development fund, provided the scheme meets Commission requirements and domestic practices relating to trusts and scheme eligibility. The scheme must also have the support of the regional and English tourist boards.
Contributions to museums and museum projects are also made through the Manpower Services Commission and organisations such as English Heritage and the English tourist board. Grants may also be available from the Musuem and Galleries Commission and the Yorkshire and Humberside Museums Council.
