asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he intends to publish the Cooper and Lybrand report on the Invest in Britain Bureau.
asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will publish the report drawn up for his Department by Messrs. Cooper and Lybrand on the cost-effectiveness of public agencies set up for the purpose of attracting industrial investment in the assisted areas.
No decision has yet been taken on publication of this report which was prepared for internal use.
asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether, in view of the misrepresentation of the objectives of the North of England development council in the Cooper and Lybrand report, he will discard the report's findings and institute a further inquiry into the council's activities.
I will reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
