HC Deb 26 May 1970 vol 801 cc464-5W
Mr. Bessell

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will now grant full development area status to the borough of Saltash, the rural district of St. Germans and the urban district of Tor-point.

Mr. Varley:

I have been asked to reply.

These places have been included in the intermediate areas under the Local Employment Act 1970. I am not convinced that their economic circumstances are such as to justify development area status, but the position will be kept under review.
