HC Deb 28 October 1970 vol 805 c125W
Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the financial arrangements agreed for dealing with the pollution of the River Tyne will be concluded.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

As my hon. Friend is aware, 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.
