§ Mr. Austin MitchellTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has received the report on the prospects for south-west Yorkshire, Strathclyde, Greater Manchester and Merseyside in the European 575W Community single market proposed by the Catholic university of Louvain for the regional policy Commission; if he will seek to have the report made available to hon. Members, indicating what policy changes he is considering in his policy in response; and if he will make a statement on the studies he has commissioned on the problem.
§ Mr. RedwoodA draft report has been received from the Commission. Only selected regions within the Community were examined; these included Strathclyde and south Yorkshire. The Commission has not yet published the report, though a copy of the draft was placed in the Library of the House on 1 February. The report is being studied.
