HC Deb 20 June 1950 vol 476 c96W
86. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade in view of the present unemployment in Aberdeen City, what steps he is taking to meet it and to encourage and develop industry in that city.

Mr. Bottomley

As I said in reply to a Question asked by the hon. Member for Aberdeen, South (Lady Tweedsmuir), on 9th May, we are prepared to consider sympathetically any proposals for the introduction of new industries or the expansion of existing industries.
