HC Deb 25 January 1989 vol 145 c647W
93. Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how he intends to respond to the request by the London Docklands development corporation for an extra £400 million Government subsidy to fund infrastructure schemes; and whether he intends to put a limit on the amount of subsidy payable.

Mr. Trippier

The LDDC's splendid achievements in regenerating London's docklands are funded by Government grant and by receipts from land sales. No request for £400 million additional grant is under consideration. Grant is paid within annual limits as voted expenditure approved by Parliament.
