HC Deb 10 March 1953 vol 512 c100W
86. Mr. Boardman

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what modification of Circular 54/52 is under consideration; and if he has yet arranged for new and exceptionally urgent water or sewage schemes still to rank for grant.

Mr. Marples

None. As indicated in the Circular, urgent schemes of water supply and sewerage for rural localities are still being considered for grant, as are schemes in Development Areas if the local authorities have entered into commitments on the strength of undertakings given by my right hon. Friend. He is also prepared to consider schemes of exceptional industrial urgency in Development Areas.
