HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 c27W
79. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the President of the Board of Trade the effect of the reductions in capital investment on factory construction and expansion in the Development Areas.

Mr. J. Edwards

I do not anticipate that factory construction which has already started will be affected but it is not practicable to estimate precisely the effect on future applications for factories in Development Areas.
