HC Deb 03 February 1972 vol 830 cc172-3W
81. Mr. John Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to reduce the numbers of unemployed in the Paisley employment area.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The Government have already taken extensive measures to stimulate the economy and many of these measures have been directed to the West of Scotland Special Development Area of which Paisley is a part. I am confident that, given time, these measures will lead to an improvement in the unemployment situation in Paisley.
