HC Deb 01 May 1986 vol 96 c486W
Mr. Hickmet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the application by Glanford and Scunthorpe borough councils for a derelict land grant to reclaim the old Normanby Park steelworks site.

Sir George Young

[pursuant to his reply, 28 April 1986, c. 323]: Funds of £1.5 million are available for 1986–87 for the reclamation of the site, which has been accorded rolling programme status. This gives a guarantee of funding for two further years. Discussions are proceeding with the Glanford and Scunthorpe joint committee for the reclamation of Normanby Park steelworks on a works programme.
