HC Deb 13 July 1987 vol 119 c388W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to end the special attractions and advantages to firms which locate in enterprise zones; and whether the cut-off of financial incentive will be immediate or tapered.

Mr. Trippier

Under the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, the designation order for each enterprise zone specifies the period for which the area concerned is to remain an EZ. When that period ends the financial benefits of the EZ will cease immediately.
