HC Deb 12 May 1930 vol 238 cc1466-7W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Transport the names of the canal concerns which have made applications for financial assistance under the Development Act, 1929; the dates of the applications; and the amount asked for in each case?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I am informed that the committee appointed under the Development (Loan Guarantees and Grants) Act, 1929, consider it undesirable that particulars should be published of applications which have been, or may be, unsuccessful. In certain cases such publication might be detrimental to the applicants.
