HC Deb 07 February 1973 vol 850 c120W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many industrial development certificates were awarded in the Northern Region in each of the months since August 1972; and what is the number of jobs expected to result from each of these certificates.

Mr. Anthony Grant

With the exception of two small parishes, the whole of the Northern Region is a development or special development area, and IDCs have not been needed there since July 1972.
