HC Deb 02 February 1968 vol 757 c439W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what plans he has to associate the regional economic planning councils with the planning of public expenditure.

Mr. Alan Williams

Councils are already provided with forecasts of public expenditure on new buildings and construction to enable them to advise the Government on the regional implications and to assist them in developing regional planning.
