HC Deb 08 February 1978 vol 943 c610W
46. Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what specific proposals he has to stimulate the level of economic activity in the building and construction industries in the South-West assisted area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeson

The extra resources allocated last November for public sector construction work will benefit the industry nationally. There are incentives under the Industry Act for industrial building in assisted areas, and plans for a further nine advanced factories in the South-West assisted areas announced last year are now in hand.
