HC Deb 11 February 1965 vol 706 c111W
30. Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs to what extent the powers to grant industrial development certificates will be delegated to regional planning boards.

Mr. George Brown

My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade operates his statutory responsibility for industrial development certificates through his regional controllers. They will, of course, be members of the Regional Economic Planning Boards.
