HC Deb 13 May 1986 vol 97 c404W
Mr. Lofthouse

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will grant intermediate status to the Castleford travel-to-work area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

No. While I am always willing to consider representations on assisted area coverage, it would require a very strong case indeed to convince me of the need to alter the assisted area map so soon after the last change.
