HC Deb 16 July 1973 vol 860 cc7-8W
29. Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will commission a report into business attitudes to regional incentives, in view of the developments in regional aid policy since 1971.

Mr. Anthony Grant

No. In administering our current regional policies and in our day-to-day contacts we obtain a great deal of information about business attitudes. Experience suggests that a formal inquiry adds little to such knowledge.
