HC Deb 21 December 1967 vol 756 cc473-4W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, what levels and statistics of employment and industry are used by him to classify an area as a grey area for development purposes; and to what extent the North Warwickshire area meets these requirements.

Mr. Alan Williams:

There is no such classification in use at present, but the appropriate criteria for determining such areas is one of the questions which the Committee under Sir Joseph Hunt is at present considering.
