HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 c15W
33. Mr. Winnick

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will make a statement on the current level of industrial activity in the West Midlands.

Mr. MacGregor

The level of industrial activity in the West Midlands region can only be raised through the efforts of management and workforces in the Region to increase productivity and to return industry there to full competitiveness. The Government's role is to help to create the right environment for firms to undertake this task, and our policies are designed to that end.
