Has the right hon. Gentleman's attention been drawn to a very alarming report from the appropriate officer of the North-East Lancashire Development Area in which attention is drawn to the rapidly reducing population, extending over a long period, in the whole of this area, particularly since 1952, which is the very year in which the Government made it a Development Area? Will he bear in mind that, what with the credit squeeze on the one hand and the European Free Trade Area on the other, the cotton trade is being subjected to increasing pressure and restriction? If the Government will not do anything to save the cotton industry, will they at least take some other industries into the area?
