HC Deb 26 March 1973 vol 853 c233W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has approved loan sanction, under Circular 2/70, for the conversion of the Corn Exchange, Ipswich, as a multi-purpose concert hall.

Mr. Graham Page

Local authorities are now given an annual borrowing allocation for local schemes of their own choice including conversion works of this sort. Ipwich's allocation for 1973–74 is £883,000. Grant of loan sanction in this way is subject to compliance with any statutory requirement affecting a particular scheme.
