§ 7. Mr. Emeryasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now take steps to encourage new investment in coastal resort towns outside the development areas.

In operating the control over industrial development certificates the development areas must continue to have priority, but subject to this we are prepared to consider applications for i.d.c.s for coastal resorts outside those areas where the projects are suited to their needs and resources.—[Vol. 761, cc. 103–5.]
