§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider including the London docklands in future publicity concerning areas for expansion.
§ Mr. Gregor MackenzieI have been asked to reply.
The main purpose of Government publicity on behalf of the area for expansion—the development areas, including special development areas, and the intermediate areas in Britain, together with Northern Ireland—is to make industry and commerce aware of the full range of incentives available when moving into or expanding in these areas It would not, therefore, be appropriate to include the London dock-lands.
