HC Deb 15 December 1972 vol 848 c243W
Mr. R. W. Elliott

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what arrangements have been made to collect information about future industrial development, formerly provided by applications for industrial development certificates, now that those have been abolished in the development and special development areas.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Negotiations with local authority associations in England and Wales and Scotland are at present taking place with a view to obtaining this information from applications to local authorities for planning permission.
