Mr. Key

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will give financial assistance to local authorities, as in previous years, for snow clearing, gritting and salting, where the cost is greater than the product of a 1p rate.

Mr. Waldegrave

[pursuant to his answer, 15 February 1985, c. 311]: My right hon. Friend is considering the representations to that effect which he has received.
