HC Deb 25 October 1967 vol 751 c507W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will instruct the Scottish Development Department to undertake a comprehensive survey of the likely effects of reintroducing free depreciation for manufacturers investing in development areas on the level of manufacturing investment in Scotland.

Mr. Harold Lever

No. The Government have already adopted more positive measures than the former tax relief mentioned in order to stimulate investment in the development areas generally.
