HC Deb 29 October 1986 vol 103 cc145-6W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is satisfied with the working of the Merseyside Enterprise Board; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I cannot comment on the activities of the Merseyside Enterprise Board. It is an independent company which is not required to report its action to my Department.

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make an official visit to the Merseyside Enterprise Board to discuss with its officials its role in the economic regeneration of the area.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Although I shall be visiting Merseyside this week, I have no plans to visit the Merseyside Enterprise Board.
