HC Deb 18 May 1976 vol 911 cc461-2W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if lay representatives of workers and employers have been involved in the discussions relating to the 30 industrial sectors identified for selective assistance in January 1976; and, if not, why not.

Mr. Alan Williams

Yes. The 30 sectors—now increased to 32—were chosen for study as part of the industrial strategy work, not for selective assistance.
