Mr. J. Enoch Powellasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will cause the maps of Great Britain in the third room at the Foreign Office to be replaced by maps of the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. HurdI imagine that the right hon. Member is referring to a photograph which appeared in theSunday 304W Telegraph Magazine of 28 March, showing part of the third room of the European Community Department (Internal) which deals, among other things, with the European regional development fund. The maps of Great Britain in that photograph are in a series showing assisted areas as defined by the Department of Industry for the purposes of this European fund. In Northern Ireland, Government assistance to industry is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and is administered by the Northern Ireland Department of Commerce.
Happily, there is a map of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the same room.
