§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Prime Minister if he is prepared to call a conference of local authorities, agricultural and industrial organisations and M.P.s with the departmental regional authorities at Cambridge to discuss the balance between agriculture and industry in East Anglia with the object of working out a 10-year East Anglian plan upon an area basis; and to invite the conference to set up a planning investigating committee to report 138W as a working party on such questions as the allocation of new industries to East Anglia.
§ The Prime MinisterNo. Such a Conference would overlap the functions of existing official committees and other representative and consultative bodies concerned with the questions referred to by the hon. Member, and impinge upon the statutory responsibilities of the various Departments involved.
