HC Deb 27 January 1976 vol 904 c192W
Mr. Neubert

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the basis for the choice of 30 as the number of key industrial sectors to be supported under the terms of the White Paper "An Approach to Industrial Strategy".

Mr. Kaufman

We considered that this was the maximum number of sectors in manufacturing industry for which an effective and manageable operation could be mounted.
