HC Deb 12 January 1981 vol 996 c421W
28. Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what effects the Government's policies are having on West Cumbrian industry.

Mr. MacGregor

The Government's policies are designed to reduce inflation and to create the economic conditions in which industry can become more competitive by increasing productivity and reducing costs. Industry in West Cumbria continues to benefit from development area status.
