HC Deb 03 November 1969 vol 790 c48W
Lord Balniel

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why no reply has been sent to the letters from the Hertford Borough Council dated 3rd June, 15th July and 16th October asking for approval of their application for loan sanction to improve the town's sewerage system.

Mr. Denis Howell

As the hon. Member knows, this is an expensive scheme and questions of timing and phasing are important. A favourable decision in principle has now been given and a letter is being sent to the hon. Member about it. I regret that interim replies were not sent to the letters the hon. Member refers to.
