HC Deb 29 July 1965 vol 717 c675
33. Mr. Boston

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is his policy on granting industrial development certificates for those parts of the South-East which do not enjoy the prosperity of the region as a whole.

Mr. Jay

Industrial development certificates are granted in these places for projects which cannot go to the development districts and whose employment demands are not beyond local resources.

Mr. Boston

My right hon. Friend's Answer will be warmly welcomed. Will he continue to give the same sort of consideration as he has in the past to those parts of the South-East, like the Isle of Sheppey, for instance, which have previously been suffering hardship?

Mr. Jay

Yes, Sir.
