Mr. George Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what representations he has received to date from interested parties in the Northern Region opposing the decision to abolish regional employment premium.

Following the decision to abolish REP there have been a number of representations about its withdrawal, including several from the Northern Region, but I regret that detailed figures are not available.
