§ 51. Mr. Footasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the Government intend to introduce their proposed legislation to make loan facilities more readily available for new undertakings in areas which are suffering from heavy unemployment but which are not scheduled as Special Areas under the Special Areas Acts?
§ The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Euan Wallace)I am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply given on this subject to the hon. Member by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour on 16th March.
§ Mr. FootIs it not a fact that the Government announced their intention to take action of this kind as long ago as November last? When are the Government going to give this information to the House?
§ Captain WallaceI have already said that I cannot give any information on the subject, and I cannot add to the answer.
