HC Deb 24 July 1969 vol 787 c445W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the continued rundown of manpower in the coalmining, steel, textile and railway industries in South Yorkshire which also has areas of high unemployment, he will schedule the whole of South Yorkshire as a development district.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No, but the Yorkshire coalfield is among the places for which the Government are proposing intermediate area treatment.
