HC Deb 02 April 1973 vol 854 c30W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps designed to ensure that the level of investment in the chemical industry by 1975 will be more than the forecast of the Chemical Industries Association of two-thirds of the level achieved in 1971.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I am aware of the problems for investment in the chemical industry but I hope that the current expansion in the economy, which it is the Government's policy to sustain, will encourage greater investment.
