HC Deb 11 November 1982 vol 31 cc243-4W
Mr. Campbell Savours

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is intending to take any further measures to boost the economy of the Northern region.

Mr. Wakeham

I expect the Northern region to benefit, along with the United Kingdom as a whole, from the Government's balanced and responsible monetary and fiscal policies and our numerous measures to improve incentives and unshackle enterprise. The decisions announced on Monday will help to reduce industrial costs and improve business confidence.
