HC Deb 05 August 1971 vol 822 cc453-4W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in view of the incidence of unemployment in the Easington constituency, he is satisfied with the progress which has been made since June 1970 in attracting new jobs to the area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

We should all like to see faster progress. The area should benefit from the Government's recent special measures to help the assisted areas and to stimulate the faster growth of the whole economy.
