HC Deb 05 July 1977 vol 934 c481W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what representations he has received from member States or other organisations in the EEC suggesting that any of the regional development schemes operating in the United Kingdom are sources of unfair competition.

Mr. Cryer

State aids which may distort competition are the subject of provisions in the Treaty of Rome. I have had no representations to the effect that our regional aids are unfair. All our systems of regional aid have been notified to the Commission.
