HC Deb 28 April 1980 vol 983 c337W
10. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what plans he has in regard to industry on Merseyside.

Mr. David Mitchell

Merseyside should benefit from the Government's national economic policies which are designed to restore incentives and thus encourage industrial growth. In addition, most of Merseyside remains a special development area and manufacturing firms there are eligible for the highest level of Government assistance.
