§ 25. Mr. Buchananasked the President of the Board of Trade what progress is being made in the development of the Springburn-Cowlairs Industrial Estate.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyConstruction of the 20,000 sq. ft. advance factory on this estate has begun, and is expected to be completed in October next.
§ Mr. BuchananIs my hon. Friend aware that it is very heartening to learn of the progress in the demolition of the old railway works and the construction of new factories in the very short period since this estate was acquired? Would she maintain the urgency necessary to complete the job on the estate and so bring more employment to the Springburn area?
§ Mrs. DunwoodyI am aware of the urgency of building the estate. I am sorry that the demolition work has been held up because of some technical factors, but we hope that the rest of the work will be completed by the end of this year.
