§ 58. Mr. P. Wellsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that unemployment in the Isle of Sheppey in now 6 per cent. and that the motor cycle factory from Woolwich has not been transferred there, he will now re-list the Isle of Sheppey under the Local Employment Act.
§ Mr. D. PriceNo. As over 1,000 new jobs are expected to accrue from industrial expansion now in progress, my right hon. Friend does not consider that a high rate of unemployment is likely to persist in the Isle of Sheppey.
