HC Deb 31 January 1972 vol 830 cc11-2W
57. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he is taking to encourage more non-industrial employment in the North East.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The Department is making every effort to encourage firms to locate projects in the North East, including those providing non-industrial employment. Also the creation of new industrial jobs in turn creates employment opportunities in supporting services.
