HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 350 c1482W
Mr. Leonard

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether any of the 40 industrial undertakings accepting the inducements at the disposal of the Special Area Commissioner indulge in the production of wood-wool; and, if so, the capacity of such plants; how many workers are employed; and what aid has been, and is yet to be given to such undertakings?

Mr. Wedderburn

Assistance under the Special Areas Acts has been offered to one firm of the nature referred to, but no payment has yet been made.
