HC Deb 11 May 1989 vol 152 c518W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions have been held between representatives of his Department and Bradford council regarding the west end development; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

Officers of Bradford city council have been present at preliminary discussions which my officials have had with the prospective developer. Any application for city grant, which has been discussed, would be made direct to the Department by the developer. Planning permission must be obtained before any such application is accepted.
