HC Deb 09 February 1972 vol 830 c355W
8. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will give a general direction to the Post Office Corporation to give priority to placing contracts with firms in special development areas as part of the programme to reduce unemployment in these areas.

Mr. Chataway

No. The Post Office informs me that a large proportion of its telecommunications equipment is already produced in development areas.
