Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 September 2009. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Economic Downturn (Unemployment).


Economic Downturn (Unemployment)

I am very pleased to hear that the Minister is here to unblock things. He can start by unblocking the A303. While he is talking about exactly what regional bodies do—including what he does—perhaps he can tell me about the South West of England Regional Development Agency. I have struggled to find a single example of anything that it has promoted in my constituency that has had the slightest effect on economic development in rural Somerset. Perhaps the Minister can enlighten us.
