HC Deb 03 May 1971 vol 816 c255W
50. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action his Department is taking to offset the effects of redundancies in the aircraft, steel and other industries in the Manchester area by means of encouraging new employment facilities.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Employment in the area will benefit from the improvement in business confidence which the Government's policies aim to bring about: in particular, by the Budget measures and those announced last October.
