HC Deb 13 May 1964 vol 695 c86W
Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development if he will define the extent of the present development areas.

Mr. D. Price

The list of development districts under the Local Employment Act, 1960, was published in the Board of Trade Journal of 9th August, 1963. The only change since has been that applications for assistance for the Paisley Group are again being accepted. The list now covers 15.1 per cent. of the insured population of Great Britain. I am sending my hon. Friend the relevant extract from the Journal.
