HC Deb 10 January 1977 vol 923 cc419-20W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the increasing resources being made available to the Scottish and Welsh Development Agencies, what extra funds he is allocating to the Development Commission for its projected factory building programme in 1977–78 and beyond.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I recognise the value of the work of the Development Com- mission. Any extra funds for the Commission would have to be found from the totals announced on 15th December, but no decision has so far been taken to allocate more to it.
