Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in deciding applications for industrial development certificates from the West Midlands, he will give an undertaking to take into account the industrial links between firms in that area as reported by the West Midlands Economic Planning Council; and if he will make a statement.
