HC Deb 17 June 1965 vol 714 c881
32. Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a further statement on the use to be made of land occupied by Associated Chemical Company Limited at Ruther-glen, and on the effect it has on employment in this development district.

Mr. Jay

I understand work has started on the part of the property being developed for industrial purposes by Taylor Woodrow Industrial Estates Ltd. I hope that this welcome development will provide some useful employment in the area.

Mr. Mackenzie

I thank my hon. Friend for that reply, but is he yet aware of any decision to use the remainder of this valuable site?

Mr. Jay

I could not say so at this moment, but I agree with my hon. Friend that it is essential to use the site and provide more employment in the area.
