HC Deb 08 April 1971 vol 815 c281W
Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he intends to introduce legislation to alter the terms of the Local Employment Act 1968 so that it can assist the expansion of the tourist industry without the applicants for assistance having to stipulate the turnover of jobs likely to result.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I have no plans for such a change at present. The purpose of financial assistance under the Local Employment Acts is the provision of appropriate employment for the benefit of the development and intermediate areas.
