HC Deb 02 March 1954 vol 524 c75W
24. Dr. Stross

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give consideration to assisting North Stafford shire in the development of new industries to accord with the changing pattern of British trade and manufacture.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I am not clear what change the hon. Member has in mind. There is at present a shortage of labour in North Staffordshire.
