HC Deb 10 February 1948 vol 447 cc55-6W
Mr. MacLeod

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has any statement to make on the subject of development of industry in the areas nearest to the source of the new hydroelectric supply.

Mr. Woodburn

The North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board are in negotiation with a number of firms who are considering developments in the highlands based on hydro-electric power. The Government for their part will do all they can to assist and I am considering how the investigation of the possibilities can best be carried further.
