HC Deb 05 November 1996 vol 284 c444W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to the paper, "Regional Policy, Review of the Assisted Areas of Great Britain", if he will place in the Library a statement on the process informing his decision in determining development area and intermediate area status, including the specific weightings attached to the factors considered in the case of the Workington travel-to-work area.

Mr. Greg Knight

The Government published the background document, "Regional Policy, Review of the Assisted Areas of Great Britain", on 23 July 1993. This document set out the basis for the map of the assisted areas introduced on 1 August 1993. The Government have no plans to publish additional information about the decisions taken on individual travel-to-work areas for the purposes of that map.
