HC Deb 08 November 1962 vol 666 cc88-9W
56. Miss Herbison

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet decided to place one of the new industrial estates on the site between Newmains and Waterloo.

Mr. Erroll

No.

57. Miss Herbison

asked the President of the Board of Trade what measures he proposes to attract industry to the Caldercruix-Plains area of Lanarkshire.

Mr. Erroll

Projects already secured for North Lanarkshire and Shotts are estimated to be providing about 7,500 jobs, and I shall continue to encourage new industry in this area. Workers can conveniently travel from one part of the area to another and it would be neither practicable nor desirable to try to steer industry to individual villages within it.
