§ 79. Mr. Varleyasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement about the effectiveness of the incentives on the new intermediate areas announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 18th February, 1971; and if he will list by each area the number of industrial development certificates issued since the announcement and the number of inquiries about industrial expansion in these areas since that date.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantIt is too early to assess the effect of measures announced as recently as 18th February. Neverthe-206W less our records show that two idc's were approved for Bridlington and Filey in the period 1st February to 30th April. As to enquiries, while of course many are of a general nature I have been able to trace 11 specifically related to Okehampton and Tavistock, six to Oswestry and one to Edinburgh and Portobello.
