HC Deb 11 March 1969 vol 779 c268W
63. Mr. Heifer

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards the continuation of Merseyside as a development area; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The coverage of the development areas is kept continually under review. We are not able to make a statement about the future of individual areas until the Government have completed their examination of the recommendations of the Hunt Committee.
