HC Deb 11 December 1973 vol 866 c112W
Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will announce his decision, after reconsideration, about his Department's grant to the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Scheme in the financial year 1974–75.

Mr. Peyton

I will announce my decision on the merits of the Picc-Vic tunnel project by the end of the year; I have already said that the public expenditure constraints do not permit a starting date before 1975–76.
