HC Deb 05 March 1973 vol 852 c20W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now make a statement on the consideration he has given to extending the environmental improvement scheme beyond the proposed closing date of 30th June 1973.

Mr. Rippon

I have been studying the many representations I have received that this scheme should be extended. Many factors have to be taken into account, and I cannot yet say whether an extension will be possible.
