HC Deb 24 February 1971 vol 812 c155W
76. Mr. Lawson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what approaches have been made to him concerning the possible contribution from public funds towards the financing of the construction of a deep-water ore terminal at Hunterston; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No application has yet been received for an authorisation under Section 9 of the Harbours Act, 1964, for harbour development at Hunterston. Following such an authorisation, the Clyde Port Authority would be able to apply for a loan under Section 11 of the Act.
