As already announced by my predecessor, the report of the committee which was appointed by him to examine further the recommendation of the Committee on Industrial Organisation for the establishment of development centres and the related question of industrial estates is being examined in my Department in consultation with other Departments concerned and will be published in due course, together with the Government's decision on the recommendations. The examination of the committee's report is still taking place and, pending completion of this examination, I am unable to indicate the Government's views in the matter.
