HC Deb 07 March 1978 vol 945 cc605-6W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if the preference now given to expanding towns on the issue of industrial development certificates will continue to apply where the Greater London Council and other exporting authorities make arrangements with the towns in question on the termination or scaling down of the original arrangements.

Mr. Cryer

Decisions still have to be taken about possible changes in the arrangements between the GLC and the expanding towns. Their industrial development certificate preference is being continued for the time being.
