HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 cc230-1W
36. Mr. Hamling

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now make a statement on the dispersal of industrial undertakings from central London.

Mr. Jay

I encourage the movement of industry from London to the development districts or, failing this, to the new and expanding towns. Where movement out of London is not possible for firms who are planned out of their existing premises and who have strong local ties, I accept relocation within London.
