HC Deb 03 February 1972 vol 830 cc200-1W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what requests he has received from Bournemouth Corporation for financial assistance in the development of a conference centre-marina; and what reply he has given.

Mr. Graham Page

No request for financial assistance has been received. The council applied for the cost of acquiring the necessary land for this development and of carrying out associated road works to be treated as a large project under the new procedures for programming local authority capital expenditure introduced in April, 1971, and supplementary allocations of £199,000 for 1971–72 and £270,000 for 1972–73 have been made.
