§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he next intends meeting representatives of the Association of District Councils to discuss regional industrial policy.
§ Mr. TrippierMy right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Local Government is seeing representatives from the Association of District Councils on 13 May to discuss their document "The Urban Dimension in the 80's", and I will be attending that meeting. The discussion is expected to focus primarily on specific urban policy issues, but it is likely that matters of wider concern embracing regional industrial policy will also be raised.
