HC Deb 12 November 1984 vol 67 c127W
Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the London Docklands Development Corporation will take steps to ensure that the Daily Telegraph uses water transport for the delivery of paper when it moves into its new site on the Isle of Dogs.

Sir George Young

The possibility of using water transport is being discussed by theDaily Telegraph and LDDC, but ultimately the method by which paper is delivered is a commercial matter for the Daily Telegraph to decide.

Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much has been spent on infrastructure on each site that the London Docklands Development Corporation has acquired in the enterprise zone, site by site, on the Isle of Dogs.

Sir George Young

The cost of infrastructure works carried out by LDDC within the enterprise zone, primarily on new roads, drainage and main services, cannot be broken down among individual sites.

Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what price the London Docklands Development Corporation paid per acre for each site that it has acquired in the enterprise zone in the Isle of Dogs.

Sir George Young

Final settlement of terms for the bulk of the land acquired by LDDC in the enterprise zone is still the subject of negotiation and, in one case, a reference to the Lands Tribunal. To provide further information would prejudice these and future negotiations.
