Does my hon. Friend accept that the figures of 4·5 per cent. unemployment in the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe area and a mere 2·5 per cent. in South Molton show how wise we were to take away grant that was based on development areas and to substitute good roads and infrastructure? Can he promise me that when we get our downstream bridge, unemployment may virtually disappear in north Devon?
