§ 68. Mr. A. Robertsasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the recent census evidence of the continued trend of industry from the North to move south, whether he proposes new measures to discourage over industrialisation of certain parts of the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonAs my right hon. Friend said in reply to Questions put on 8th June by the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street (Mr. Pentland), the policies embodied in the Local Employment Act, 1960, are already securing a more equal regional distribution of industry. He is, of course, watching the working of the Act to see whether any further improvements can be made.
