HC Deb 12 June 1979 vol 968 cc177-8W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will make a statement as to his policy towards en- couraging manufacturing industry wishing to remain in the Greater London Council area.

Mr. David Mitchell

The Government are reviewing the assistance at present available to industry and the controls placed on it. Industry in London, as in the rest of the country, will benefit from our policy of creating a climate in which commerce and industry can flourish.
