HC Deb 01 March 1968 vol 759 cc433-4W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has approved the second phase of the infilling of the Monk-land Canal at Coatbridge; and what is the estimated cost, the amount of Government grant and the proposed date for starting the project.

Mr. Ross

I have given approval in principle. The latest estimate of cost is about£300,000, and grant will be at the rate of 90 per cent. of the approved cost. A starting date has not yet been fixed.
