HC Deb 11 June 1964 vol 696 c93W
Mr. Dudley Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development whether he will now make a statement on a study of the problems of the South-West.

Mr. Heath

Following my statement of 27th February, I have now received a request from the Joint Committee for the Economy of the South West for a grant in aid of an initial programme of work to be undertaken by a firm of consultants. I have agreed to this request, subject to Parliamentary approval of a Supplementary Estimate which will be presented in due course.
