§ 11. Dr. Broughtonasked the President of the Board of Trade how many Industrial Development Certificates have been issued in the last ten years for industrial development in Batley and Morley.
§ Mr. D. PriceIn the 10 years ended October, 1962, 57 industrial development certificates have been issued for Batley and Morley.
§ Dr. BroughtonIs it not preposterous that industrial development certificates should be refused and so few granted at a time when the heavy woollen textile industry is in decline and mills have been closing? Is it part of the disastrous policy of this shocking Government to try to strangle the West Riding?
