Abstract
Promoting balanced regional development has been a long-term public policy
objective ever since the establishment of the Congested Districts Boards at the turn
of the century. However, although Regional Development Organisations were set
up in 1969, there has not been a clearly articulated strategy for regional policy. The
only clear semblance of a regional policy which can be identified is the existence of
measures such as regionally differentiated industrial grants, devised in an attempt to
influence the spatial dispersion of mobile investment, and the Compensatory
Allowance Scheme (“headage” payments) in the case of agriculture which is targeted
towards the so-called disadvantaged areas.
