HC Deb 22 October 1984 vol 65 cc459-60W
Rev. William McCrea

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when a Minister last met the Industrial Development Board in Northern Ireland, what matters were discussed, and when the next meeting will take place.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. Friend's predecessor, the right hon. Member for Waveney (Mr. Prior) met members of the Industrial Development Board on 27 February 1984 when possible improvements in the Northern Ireland package of industrial development incentives were discussed. I have not yet had an opportunity to meet the board, but look forward to doing so in the near future.
