HC Deb 19 July 1971 vol 821 cc189-90W
45. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now make further proposals for additional incentives to assist the development areas.

Mr. Anthony Grant

: These matters are constantly under review. We have already introduced a substantial and effective package of incentives for industrial development. Moreover the Government have just announced a major programme of increased public works which will improve the basic attractions of the assisted areas and will help to provide additional employment, particularly in the construction industry.—[Vol. 821, c. 257,510–16; 160.]
