HC Deb 31 October 1990 vol 178 c597W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on new developments or extensions to existing industry sited in north Devon.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Good labour relations, a skilled work force and, with the opening of the north Devon link road, more speedy access to the main markets make north Devon an increasingly attractive environment for business to locate and grow. Pall UK and Coutant Electronics are but two good examples of companies which have taken advantage of these conditions. Many more have, taking advantage of the Department's enterprise initiative.
