§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why he will not provide information to right hon. Members and hon. Members regarding outstanding payments in respect of the Thames barrier about which his Department has been kept informed by the London residuary body.
§ Mr. Donald Thompson[pursuant to his reply, 17 November 1986, c. 17]: Questions of grant aid on the Thames barrier fall within my Department's responsibilities. Payments are being made as the expenditure eligible for grant is verified. Much detailed information remains either to be provided or examined in my Department.
