47. Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he intends to take to assist Merseyside as a development area.

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 27th October, and to the White Paper on Investment Incentives which outlined our proposals for stimulating development throughout the assisted areas.
