HC Deb 15 May 1964 vol 695 cc135-6W
Mr. Proudfoot

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development if trunk pipelines will attract grants for building, land, and equipment in development areas.

Mr. D. Price

A trunk pipeline undertaking could be considered for financial assistance under the Local Employment Acts if it would provide additional employment in a development district. The form and extent of assistance for which it would be eligible could be determined only in relation to a specific project.
