HC Deb 13 March 1968 vol 760 c1368
34. Mr. Willey

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will make a further statement on the advance factory in Sunderland which at present is unoccupied.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Every effort, including advertising in the national Press, is being made to find a tenant for this factory.

Mr. Willey

In view of our present unemployment difficulties, which I am sure my hon. Friend appreciates, will she consider taking exceptional steps to advertise this vacancy and call attention to the excellence of this factory and the need to provide employment there?

Mrs. Dunwoody

We are very anxious to find tenants for all our advance factories. We sympathise with the situation in Sunderland, and are doing everything we can to help.
