HC Deb 21 May 1979 vol 967 c46W
Mr. Norman Hogg

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details of the Government's policy on the future of Scotland's five new towns and, in particular, details of any plans for the continued development of Cumbernauld new town.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Our manifesto made clear that we would continue to support the existing new towns in Scotland and expressly recognised their role in creating jobs and securing our industrial future.
