§ Mr. JannerTo ask the President of the Board of Trade (1) when the decision was made to locate his Department's east midlands regional development organisation in Nottingham;
(2) whether he will reconsider his decision to locate the east midlands regional development organisation in Nottingham rather than in Leicester.
§ Mr. Sainsbury[holding answer 14 April 1993]: The decision was made on 25 March when my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade made a statement on the conclusions of the Government's coal review. The new east midlands regional development organisation is not part of my Department, but will be supported in part by a grant in aid linked to the performance of specific inward investment promotion activities on behalf of the Invest in Britain Bureau.
