§ 48. Mrs. Jean Mannasked the President of the Board of Trade when the factories in the industrial estate at Coat-bridge will be in operation; and if any efforts have yet been made to find tenants for these units.
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Harold Wilson)The allocation of both factories has been approved in principle, and the prospective tenants are now engaged in final negotiations with Scottish Industrial Estates Limited. It may be possible for both factories to be in operation by about mid-1949, but the exact date will depend, among other things, on the requirements of the tenants.
