HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 c162W
Mr. Ford

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what help he intends to give Bradford to attract new industry, in view of the large number of redundancies recently occurring.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I do not consider that the circumstances of Bradford, in relation to those of other areas, would justify additional incentives for industrial development. My right hon. Friend's Budget proposals are designed to lay the foundations for industrial expansion throughout the country.
