HC Deb 19 March 1969 vol 780 cc117-8W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will publish Table 9.3 of "The Task Ahead" in a form which shows the additional jobs in each of the development areas.

Mr. Urwin

The information requested is as follows:

employment objectives will be solved, in the light of the conclusions in Chapter 9(32) of "The Task Ahead".

Mr. Urwin

It is impossible to specify how soon the problems of regional imbalance will be solved, as this depends on the rate of growth achieved in the economy as a whole and on the impact of technological change, as well as on the response of manufacturers to the wide range of regional policy incentives in use.
