§ 42. Mr. Cowansasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy on the recommendation of the Armitage report in favour of higher grants for railway sidings under section 8 of the Railways Act 1974.
§ Mr. David HowellI believe that the present maximum grant of 50 per cent. is satisfactory. Nevertheless, I am prepared to consider, in the context of the Government's proposals on lorry weights, any new evidence to the contrary before coming to a final decision.
