HC Deb 16 February 1983 vol 37 cc167-8W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the failure of Islington borough council to inform his Department of the proposed political links of "Islington News" when applying for a grant for that purpose, he will suspend all approvals of projects submitted for urban aid grant approved by Islington council until the nature of the bodies and projects in question have been thoroughly investigated.

Sir George Young

I am considering these matters in the light of the information provided by the hon. Member, but believe that it would not be in the interests of people in Islington to stop good schemes from proceeding.
