HC Deb 16 June 1976 vol 913 c160W
Mr. Tim Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment on what criteria he gave his approval to the opening by the National Freight Corporation of a factory to make plastic boards from waste material; and whether the advice of the NEB was sought before this expansion of the NFC's activities was authorised.

Mr. Marks

No prior approval for this project was required, nor was consultation with the NEB.
