HC Deb 28 January 1987 vol 109 c261W
13. Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what further proposals he has to attract industry to the northern region.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The Government's economic policies are promoting jobs and wealth creation nationally, and our regional industrial policy measures positively encourage investment and employment in the assisted areas, including much of the North East region. In addition, creation of UDCs in Tyne and Wear and Teesside will encourage industrial development.
