29. Mr. Albert Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in view of recent colliery closures in the urban district area of Rothwell, Yorkshire, part of the Normanton constituency, if he will consider designating the whole of the constituency as a development area or making the Rothwell area an intermediate area.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The coverage of assisted areas is being examined as part of the Government's review of regional policy. A statement will be made as soon as possible.
