HC Deb 02 February 1968 vol 757 c413W
Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Minister of Technology what proposals he is considering for siting Government-financed industries in the Northern Region.

Dr. Bray

In all the different methods by which the Department gives support to industry I attach weight to the location of the resulting enterprise in development areas, including the Northern Region. Recent support has included National Research Development Corporation support of £1.4 million for four projects in the Northern Region.
