HC Deb 23 February 1972 vol 831 c319W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress has been made in the Government's consideration of the proposal for regional development boards; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

As I made clear in the debate on the Second Reading of the Regional Development Corporation Bill on 11th February, representations of this nature are being taken into account in our work on regional policy.
