HC Deb 22 November 1957 vol 578 cc75-6W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Minister of Labour if he is satisfied with the present employment exchange arrangements for the new town of East Kilbride; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am satisfied that the temporary building erected in 1953 for the employment exchange at East Kilbride is adequate for normal requirements until the new town is more fully developed.

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Works is negotiating with the East Kilbride Development Corporation for the provision of more permanent accommodation for Government Departments, including the employment exchange, when the development of the area justifies this.
