§ 71. Mr. MORLEYasked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made in establishing new industries in the depressed areas for the purpose of finding alternative employment?
§ Mr. GILLETTThis is a question to which attention is given as and when opportunity offers, but my hon. Friend will appreciate that it is primarily a matter for industry to choose its own location, and that it is extremely difficult to attempt to influence this freedom of choice.
§ Mr. C. WILLIAMSAre we to understand from the answer that no new industry has been made during the 18 months?
