54. Mr. David Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will consider taking steps to transfer responsibility for the Newton Aycliffe Industrial Estate from his Department to the Aycliffe Development Corporation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I would certainly be prepared to consider together with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment any representations the hon. Member might care to make on this issue.
