HC Deb 29 March 1972 vol 834 cc75-6W
40. Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on proposals which he has now received for the construction of an oil terminal at Foulness.

Mr. Peter Walker

The Port of London Authority has now asked for approval in principle to specific proposals so that it can proceed with further investigations and with commercial negotiations. These must be completed before I can give a final decision. I expect to receive shortly the National Ports Council's advice on this request.
