HC Deb 21 July 1970 vol 804 c111W
Mr. Benn

asked the Minister of Transport whether, following the decision to replace investment grants with investment allowances, the port-modernisation grants will be retained or replaced by capital allowances; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

No decision to replace investment grants has been taken. The power to make port modernisation grants derives from the Harbours Act, 1964.
