HC Deb 27 February 1968 vol 759 cc326-7W
121. Mr. Henig

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what steps he is proposing to take to improve the coordination of the Government's regional economic policy.

Mr. Alan Williams

The Government have already created a wide-ranging machinery for the co-ordination of regional economic policy through the Department of Economic Affairs and the Regional Economic Planning Boards and Councils. The efficiency of this machinery is constantly reviewed, but no major changes are contemplated at present.
