HC Deb 06 December 1971 vol 827 c216W
89. Dr. Gilbert

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will consider changing his present policies on the granting of development certificates in the West Midlands as long as present high levels of unemployment persist in that area.

Sir J. Eden

The I.D.C. control is already operated as flexibly as possible to take account of any changes in the levels of unemployment.
