64. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received from Scotland concerning the new policies for development areas; and what reply he has made.

Mr. Anthony Grant

A number of firms in Scotland and Scottish interests been been in touch with the Department about the effects of the new incentives and of modifications in the i.d.c. control. We firmly believe that the policies we are following and which are explained to those seeking clarification will be effect- tive in stimulating the provision of employment in Scotland and elsewhere in the development areas.
