HC Deb 15 November 1971 vol 826 c5W
43. Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take the initiative in encouraging new industrial development in North-East Kent, by granting more industrial development certificates, in view of the high level of local unemployment and the announcement of further redundancies in the paper industry.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The I.D.C. control is already operated flexibly in North-East Kent and full account is taken of the employment situation there.
