§ Mr. Muddasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will convene and chair a meeting of employers, trades unionists and local authorities in West Cornwall to discuss means of furthering Government assistance to this area of high unemployment.
§ Mr. Gregor MackenzieI do not think this is necessary. The Department already gives high priority to the job needs of West Cornwall by virtue of its status as a development area. My regional director in the South-West maintains close touch with local interests, and I also have the benefit of the advice of the South-West Industrial Development Board. I hope to have an opportunity of visiting the area.
