HC Deb 18 March 1971 vol 813 c402W
Mr. Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many investment projects previously planned for development regions have been cancelled; according to the latest information available to his Department, how many companies have signified their intention to cancel investment projects; and if he will make a statement.

Sir J. Eden

If the hon. Member will state the period for which he requires the information, I shall be glad to try to provide it. Investment plans are, however, always subject to modification, and the information available to the Department on such changes is necessarily very limited.
