HC Deb 08 March 1971 vol 813 cc51-2W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what additional expenditure will be allocated by his Department in the Hull intermediate district, and on what projects, as a result of the recent announcement concerning extra expenditure on infrastructure and the environment in the development intermediate areas.

Mr. Graham Page

There are already many projects attracting Government support which will improve the infrastructure and environment of the North Hum- berside Intermediate Area. These include nearly£50 million of trunk and principal road improvement schemes in preparation. Other expenditure, including expenditure by local authorities, is being and will be incurred on such schemes as derelict land reclamation and water and sewerage projects. In considering expenditure on infrastructure and the environment, my Department will continue to give full weight to the needs of this intermediate area.
