HC Deb 20 March 1968 vol 761 cc100-1W
67. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many advance factories in Aberdeen are now in actual use; how many more he plans there; how many applications for advance factories he is now considering; and With what results.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Tenants are being sought for the two Board of Trade advance factories. No applications are under consideration from prospective tenants. As I told my hon. and learned Friend on 28th February, I propose to wait until we have tenants for these factories before deciding to build further advance factories in Aberdeen.—[Vol. 759, c.371.]

72. Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked. the President of the Board of Trade what further steps he proposes to take with regard to advance factories at present standing empty; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

All available Board of Trade factories suitable to their needs are brought to the attention of industrialists inquiring for space. In addition, current Press advertising features the assistance generally available in development areas and individual advance factories ready for immediate occupation.
