HC Deb 09 December 1980 vol 995 c323W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to remove the anomaly whereby firms can receive grants for meeting part of the costs of rail sidings, but such grants axe not available when a local authority stipulates as a planning condition that a new factory must have a rail link

Mr. Michael Roberts

No, because in such circumstances the purpose of the grant is not met.
