§ Mr. Ron Lewisasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) if he is now satisfied, following his recent visit to Carlisle, that the area is in need of development; and what further steps are required to reinforce the need for an Industrial Development Certificate for large new industry;
(2) What steps he proposes to take to bring new industry into the area of Carlisle; and to what extent he expects regional planning to offset migration.
§ Mr. JaySubject to the priority that must be given to the development districts, where the need is greater, I shall continue to give sympathetic consideration to industrial projects for Carlisle.
In so far as migration is due to a lack of employment, it is being countered by the attraction of industry to the areas mainly affected.
