HC Deb 08 May 1969 vol 783 c124W
52. Mr. Speed

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take to ensure that the provision of jobs keeps pace with the provision of homes in overspill town developments.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Government Departments and local authorities already work closely together on these matters. Where planned development seems likely to be held up in an overspill town the I.D.C. policy will be operated flexibly in respect of firms considering a move from the exporting area.
