My right hon. Friend the Minister has visited Easington on several occasions. In particular, he has visited Seaham and seen at first hand the immense progress made there in the development of Fox Cover, Spectrum and Dawdon industrial estates and the huge investment in Seaham docks. On the horizon, he is also aware of the possibility of a massive investment in a film studio and a centre of creative arts. I am aware of the work that the Minister is carrying out in making representations to the appropriate Departments, such as the Treasury and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, on behalf of east Durham. Can he offer assurances that his efforts will not be diminished in future by the present economic problems that we all face, and that he will continue to exert pressure and influence on the Treasury and other Departments to ensure that innovative enterprise is given every assistance to provide much-needed employment to east Durham in future years?
