HC Deb 14 November 1985 vol 86 c224W
Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which of the Design Council proposals submitted to him in June are planned to be introduced.

Mr. Butcher

The proposals were made by the Design Council's policy working party and the council is already taking action on many of them. My Department has helped the council to achieve this by increasing the 1985–86 grant by £500,000 to enable it to expand its regional and its education and training activities and to begin a major awareness campaign aimed at senior management in British industry and commerce.
