HC Deb 16 March 1971 vol 813 c315W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is satisfied with the number of inquiries from firms outside Wales who wish to develop in the Principality since 18th June, 1970; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to his similar Question on 19th November, 1970. The extension of the Special Development Areas and Intermediate Areas and the increase in the rate of operational grant which were announced on 18th February should give additional encouragement to industrialists to locate new projects in the assisted areas.—[Vol. 806, c. 474.]
