HC Deb 05 June 1972 vol 838 c1W
7. Mr. Duffy

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what evidence he has of interest or increased industrial activity in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region, following the announcement of new regional incentives in the Budget.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Our regional office has received an increased number of inquiries about industrial sites or premises in the region. Another encouraging sign is that the number of unemployed fell substantially last month.
