HC Deb 05 October 1944 vol 403 c1151W
Mr. T. Brown

asked the President of the Board of Trade if any financial assistance will be given to local authorities who desire to purchase sites or clear existing sites for the purpose of bringing new industries into the blighted areas; and, if so, on what basis.

Captain Waterhouse

It is the Government's intention to introduce legislation to implement the undertaking in paragraph 26 (d) of the White Paper that they will continue and extend the policy of erecting in development areas factories on individual or collective sites, for sale or lease, including factories which can be rented in sections.
