HC Deb 30 March 1993 vol 222 c132W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total public funding being committed to his plans to encourage development on the east Thames corridor.

Mr. Baldry

The Government's preferred approach to the east Thames corridor is to put in place a planning framework which will seek to maximise the development benefits of public investment in infrastructure and urban regeneration over the next 20 years. It is not possible to estimate the total of public expenditure in the area over that period.
