HC Deb 10 January 1989 vol 144 cc613-4W
Mr. Nicholas Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy with respect to seeking the establishment of a medium-term transport infrastructure fund by the European Economic Community and as to the nature of projects to be covered by such a fund.

Mr. Portillo

The Government do not support the European Community Commission's proposal to create a medium-term transport infrastructure fund. The Community has a role in identifying worthwhile schemes of Community significance, and sound means of funding these already exist.
