HC Deb 06 July 1967 vol 749 cc284-5W
Mr. Michael Heseltine

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the similarity between the local industries and regional employment problems of the Tavistock area with those of Cornwall and North Devon, he will declare the Tavistock employment area a development area.

Mr. Jay

No, I do not consider the circumstances of this area justify its designation as a development area.
