Intermediate Areas (Boundaries)

HC Deb 30 March 1972 vol 834 c112W

Mr. Idris Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in designating the new intermediate areas in Wales and in the North-West and Yorkshire and Humberside regions, the practice has been followed of defining the boundary in terms of employment exchange areas.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Yes. Where the regional boundary does not coincide with an employment exchange boundary the treatment of the particular area is defined in the Intermediate Areas and Derelict Land Clearance Area Order, 1972.
