HC Deb 19 March 1980 vol 981 c218W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what application has been made by his Department to the regional fund of the EEC for assistance towards the cost of developing the A55 trunk road.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

No applications have been made in respect of trunk road schemes in Wales. The practice has been to give preference to projects submitted by local and public authorities who benefit from reduced borrowing requirements thereby.
