28. Mr. Hamilton

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of recent announcements concerning pit closures, plus the recognised difficulty of securing employment for women and girls, what immediate action he intends to take to steer alternative industry to Fife.

Mr. J. Rodgers

As my right hon. Friend told the hon. Member on 13th November, the Board of Trade will draw the attention of companies proposing development to the area.
