§ 35. Dame Joan Vickersasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has studied the report of the South-West Economic Planning Council, "A Region With a Future"; and if it is his policy that Plymouth should become a development area.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyThe report is still being carefully studied. I cannot comment on its recommendations at this stage.
§ Dame Joan VickersWill the hon. Lady realise that Plymouth, through its own efforts, has risen from being the worst blitzed city in the country and that it will be hit by the Government's proposals in regard to defence cuts, S.E.T. and the proposals in the White Paper on Transport of Freight?
§ Mrs. DunwoodyI am well aware of the position in Plymouth. We will bear it very sympathetically in mind.
