HC Deb 16 November 1983 vol 48 c475W
47. Sir Anthony Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will now treat service industries in the same way as manufacturing industries as regards eligibility for regional aid.

Mr. Norman Lamont

This is one of the many issues considered in our review of regional policy. As my right hon. Friend explained in his answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Cornwall, South-East (Mr. Hicks), the Government intend shortly to publish a White Paper which will set out the framework of a new structure for regional industrial incentives.
