HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 c360W
Mr. Barnett

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will implement the recommendations of the Lancashire and Merseyside Industrial Development Association, details of which have been sent to him, in particular the suggestion that full development area status be granted to the traditional Lancashire textile areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jay

No. The Lancashire textile areas are already given treatment suitable to their needs.
