HC Deb 21 June 1978 vol 952 c195W
28. Mr. Fairgrieve

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will consider returning the Aberdeen travel-to-work area to full development status.

Mr. Cryer

I do not consider that development area status would be appropriate for the Aberdeen travel-to-work area, where the rate of unemployment in May was 3.3 per cent., as opposed to a national average of 5.7 per cent.
