HC Deb 06 December 1956 vol 561 c168W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give assistance to the shale oil industry in Scotland to help meet the national shortage of fuel sources and to match declining employment in some industries in Lanarkshire and the Lothians.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I have nothing to add to the reply given by the Minister of Fuel and Power on 2nd August last to the hon. Member for Midlothian (Mr. Pryde).
