HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 c124W
72. Mr. Bob Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will expedite a decision on the Tyneside sewage disposal scheme.

Mr. Graham Page

As stated recently in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Tynemouth (Dame Irene Ward), the Tyneside Joint Sewerage Board's applications for planning permission and loan sanction constitute a complex scheme but we hope to issue a decision very shortly.—[Vol. 805, c.125.]
