HC Deb 24 October 1973 vol 861 cc509-10W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will announce his decision in respect of the scheme submitted to him by Goole Borough Council for new sewerage and sewage disposal plant to serve the town.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Agreement in principle to the scheme is likely to be given shortly. However, the borough council will know from my Department's Circular 132/73 of 10th October that only in exceptional circumstances will loan sanction be issued to local authorities for the letting of contracts in the next three months.
