HC Deb 25 June 1956 vol 555 cc17-8W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why a London firm rather than a Scottish firm was awarded the first contract by the Development Corporation for developing the new town centre at East Kilbride.

Mr. J. Stuart

Inquiries made by the Corporation showed that no Scottish firm was prepared to undertake development of the scale and type required in this particular case.
