§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take action to assist the process plant industry to take advantage of the world wide demand for its products; and what specific recommendations were made by NEDC about this industry at the meeting on 5th February.
§ Mr. DellThe process plant industry is a sector which is being studied in the 181W context of removing constraints on the supply of investment goods. Certain proposals for further work were made at the last meeting of NEDC, and a report is expected shortly on the heavy fabricating side of the industry. Recognising the importance of this particular sector the council has asked for regular progress reports.
