§ Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what action he is taking to deal with the unemployment in excess of 8 per cent, at Teignmouth;
(2) what is his policy towards areas which, though not in development areas, have unemployment rates of 8 per cent, and above.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyWe consider sympathetically applications for industrial development certificates for suitable projects in any area where the level of unemployment is significantly and persistently above the national average. Teignmouth and other coastal resorts should benefit from the new scheme of assistance for hotels which my right hon. Friend announced on 20th March and described more fully in the White Paper, Hotel Development Incentives—Cmnd. 3633.
