HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 cc44-5W
22. Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he is satisfied with the existing system of regional aids and with the present designation of development areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

We have made it clear that we intend to continue and develop the present system of regional incentives. The boundaries of the development areas are kept under review, but there are no proposals for any changes at present.
