HC Deb 11 December 1958 vol 597 cc111-2W
92. Mr. Ainsley

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the growing unemployment in coal-mining, which is the basic industry in north-west Durham, what proposals he has for attracting other industries to this area.

Sir D. Eccles

A number of new industries have set up in the County of Durham since the war, and many of them are prospering. We will do all we can to assist north-west Durham.
