§ Sir H. Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Technology whether he will specify those activities formerly conducted at regional level by the Board of Trade which have been taken over by his Department.
§ Mr. CousinsNone of the Board of Trade's regional responsibilities has been taken over by my Department. However, on questions of commercial or production capacity and, in particular, on matters relating to diversification or production efficiency where the resources of my Ministry may be directly concerned, there is close consultation between the regional staffs of both Ministries.
