Regional Planning and Development (Treasury Department)

HC Deb 09 April 1963 vol 675 c117W

3. Mr. Holt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which department at the Treasury is responsible for regional planning and development.

Mr. Maudling

Regional planning and development in its different aspects is the concern of a number of Government Departments. Within the Treasury, the Public Sector Group has prime responsibility, under my general authority, for this subject.
