Reviving the Regions
Presented by John Vaizey
Many development areas of the United Kingdom will benefit directly from the first allocation of nearly £9-million from the European Regional Development Fund in Brussels. The money is to help finance new industrial sites and advance factories, and a decision on further aid is expected this month.
What effect will this have on the regions and on the Government's policies towards them? How far does EEC regional policy coincide with our own? Do the development areas here have a strategy to take full advantage of EEC policies? Producer MICHAEL GREEN
