HC Deb 15 April 1965 vol 710 cc230-1W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the President of the Board of Trade what new instructions he has issued relating to a restriction of the granting of industrial development certificates in the West Midlands area.

Mr. Jay

As I told the hon. Member on 17th December, 1964, I have asked my Regional Controllers to look more critically at all i.d.c. applications in the really congested areas including those in the West Midlands.
