HC Deb 17 November 1967 vol 754 cc203-4W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs whether the Yorkshire and Humberside Economic Planning Council's study of the Colne Valley will be completed before February, 1968.

Mr. Alan Williams

No. The first phase of the study of the problems of the Pennine towns which covers the Calder Valley will, however, soon be complete and the experience gained should help progress on the Colne Valley study, which forms the second phase.
