HC Deb 23 April 1963 vol 676 c7W
37. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of continuing heavy unemployment in the Accrington area, it will now be scheduled as a development district.

Mr. D. Price

The rate of wholly unemployed in Accrington is well below the levels prevailing in development districts, and my right hon. Friend would not be justified in adding it to the list.
