Distribution of Industry (Sunderland)

HC Deb 07 May 1959 vol 605 c542

32. Mr. Willey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what financial assistance under the Distribution of Industry (Industrial Finance) Act, 1958, has been made available to alleviate unemployment in Sunderland.

Mr. Erroll

None, Sir.

Mr. Willey

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that unemployment in Sunderland has, unfortunately, risen again? In view of this, will he see that his Department pays particular attention to our difficulties?

Mr. Erroll

D.A.T.A.C. will, of course, be very glad to examine any applications submitted to it.
