HC Deb 24 November 1955 vol 546 c142W
90. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the President of the Board of Trade how far he has been able to implement the undertaking he gave during the debate on 29th October, 1952, about attracting new industries to areas suffering from employment difficulties outside the Development Areas.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

It continues to be the Government's policy to encourage the establishment of new industries in areas outside the Development Areas where the outlook for employment makes this desirable. The undertaking related to relaxation in a few places of the restrictions on building which have since been abolished.
