HC Deb 10 February 1966 vol 724 c604
36. Mr. Heffer

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many new industries were introduced into the Merseyside Development District in 1965; what further proposals his Department has in this field; and what effect the new financial proposals will have.

The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Douglas Jay)

The industrial development certificates to which I referred in my Answer to my hon. Friend on 27th January covered a wide range of industries. The new proposals announced in the White Paper on Investment Incentives will, I hope, attract more firms to Merseyside.
