§ 29. Sir J. Barlowasked the President of the Board of Trade whether Middleton, Lancashire, is included in the list of places for which financial assistance is currently available under the 1958 Distribution of Industry (Industrial Finance) Act.
§ Mr. J. RodgersYes, Sir. It was added in March at the same time as Oldham, Rochdale and other places in the same district. I am arranging that in a revised issue of the pamphlet "Industry on the Move" Middleton is specifically mentioned as part of the Oldham area and in the same way that Littleborough will be listed as part of the Rochdale area.
§ Sir J. BarlowWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, in view of this omission to include the name of Middleton in the past, may I ask whether he will do all he can to bring it to the attention of suitable manufacturers in the future?
§ Mr. RodgersCertainly, Sir.
