HC Deb 24 June 1980 vol 987 c137W
Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what consideration he has given to the representations from the Lothian region to seek a reversal of his decision to downgrade certain local employment exchange areas from development area status; and when he expects to make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

I am carefully considering all the points that were put to me by a deputation from the Lothian region on 20 May and will write to those who came to see me as soon as possible.
