HC Deb 26 February 1968 vol 759 cc261-2W
Mr. Jopling

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, when setting up the North Pennine Rural Development Board, he will consider the advantages of establishing the head- quarters of the Board at Kirkby Stephen, owing to its central position and good communications.

Mr. Peart

I will take these points into account when considering the relative merits of various locations.
