HC Deb 17 November 1953 vol 520 c137W
66. Mr. Bence

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken to establish new industries in the Twecler, Croy, Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch districts of Eastern Dunbartonshire.

Mr. H. Strauss

The Board of Trade will give what help they can to suitable industrialists willing to establish a factory in this area. They have, of course, no power to direct industrialists to a particular place and the needs of other parts of the Development Area much also be considered.
