HC Deb 14 June 1974 vol 874 cc655-6W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will bring forward proposals further to extend the time allowed for the completion of work eligible for 75 per cent. improvement grants in areas where delays have now been caused by the industrial dispute in the cement industry.

Mr. Freeson

No. The Government do not believe that any further concession beyond that announced on 30th April— [Vol. 872, c. 440–1.]—in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Accrington (Mr. Davidson) is justified.
