HC Deb 25 March 1958 vol 585 c203
8. Mr. Brockway

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will authorise the establishment of a Slough district advisory committee to the Southern Regional Board for Industry.

Mr. Amory

I am awaiting a recommendation from the Southern Regional Board for Industry which has this matter in hand.

Mr. Brockway

While thanking the Chancellor for that Answer, may I ask him to bear in mind that the industries of Reading and Slough are very distinct? In view of the growing importance of Slough has an industrial centre, will he look on this proposal favourably?

Mr. Amory

I shall certainly take note of what the hon. Member has said.
