HC Deb 15 April 1965 vol 710 cc226-7W
27. Mr. W. Baxter

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is proposing to take to bring industry to the villages of Bannockburn, Fallin, Cowie and Plean.

Mr. Jay

I must continue to give priority to the development districts where the need for more employment is greater. None the less, any proposal to establish suitable industry in these villages would be sympathetically considered.

28. Mr. W. Baxter

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is proposing to take to help the industries of Bonnybridge, especially the foundry industries.

Mr. Jay

Assistance under the Local Employment Acts is available to suitable projects for Bonnybridge, which is in a development District. Applications from several firms are under consideration and the foundry industry is represented among them. Offers of assistance have already been made in certain cases.
