HC Deb 22 March 1968 vol 761 c165W
Mr. Raymond Fletcher

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will establish within his Department a location of industry bureau to bring firms which anticipate expansion into effective contact with local authorities in the grey areas affected by pit closures.

Mr. Darling

I do not think a special bureau is needed for this purpose. My Department's Regional Offices are in regular contact with local authorities in their regions and with industry.
