22. Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he proposes to introduce any further measures to assist industrial companies.

Industry will prosper by becoming efficient, and that means making products of a design and at a cost which attracts customers. The Government can and are helping by fighting inflation, providing incentives and removing obstacles to enterprise.
