HC Deb 03 December 1964 vol 703 cc100-1W
45. Mr. Baker

asked the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has for directing light industry to development areas such as Banffshire.

Mr. Darling

My right hon. Friend has no powers to direct industry to the development districts. But the Board of Trade will continue to encourage suitable projects to set up in the areas where the Local Employment Acts facilities and the fiscal concession of free depreciation apply.
