HC Deb 15 November 1982 vol 32 c37W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Industry why Halifax has been excluded from the list of areas to receive financial help from the non-quota section of the European regional development fund.

Mr. MacGregor

It is not clear why the Commission should have omitted Halifax from these proposals. The Government will naturally press for its inclusion when the proposed regulation comes before the Council.
