HC Deb 06 December 1972 vol 847 cc412-3W
37. Mr. Sutcliffe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received to extend the period during which grants are payable for the clearance of minor dereliction and local eyesores beyond June 1973; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Graham Page

I have had about a dozen specific requests that this scheme should be extended, and there have been a number of inquiries. Inquirers have been told that the working of the scheme is now being reviewed.

40. Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what assistance he is giving to the County Borough of Doncaster in its efforts to reclaim the derelict land of Doncaster Carr by the use of pit waste.

Mr. Graham Page

My Department is in touch with Doncaster Corporation about its proposals for the treatment of this area.
