HC Deb 30 January 1976 vol 904 c388W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what are the statutory criteria for the granting of SDA status; how many of these are satisfied by the Ormskirk area; and how many are not.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

The criteria are those prescribed in Section 1 of the Local Employment Act 1972, as amended, and Section 1(4) of the Industry Act 1972. I am not satisfied that any of these criteria are met for that part of the Ormskirk travel-to-work area which is not already included in the Merseyside Special Development Area.
