HC Deb 23 June 1959 vol 607 c130W
101. Mr. Hayman

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will receive a deputation from the Cornish group of trades councils about the need for new industries in Cornwall, because of the high unemployment rate in the county.

Mr. J. Rodgers

I reported to my right hon. Friend on my visit to Cornwall early this year and he is well aware of the problems of the County and its need for new industries I am, however, prepared in conjunction with my hon. Friend, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour to receive a deputation from hon. Members representing Cornwall and the trade councils concerned at a mutually convenient time.
