HC Deb 28 November 1985 vol 87 c662W
42. Mr. Holt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what aspects of his Department's fiscal policy are intended specifically to assist deprived regions.

Mr. MacGregor

Our fiscal policies are intended to promote sustained economic growth throughout the country. Specific assistance for such regions is not generally provided through the tax system, but in other ways. Special tax provisions do however apply in enterprise zones.
