HC Deb 18 February 1960 vol 617 c151W
105 and 106. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what inducements he proposes to give industrialists to bring heavy industry to Cardiff; and whether he will make a statement;

(2) why Cardiff has not been included in the list of districts scheduled for help under the terms of the Local Employment Bill; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Maudling

The unemployment situation in the Cardiff area would not justify the provision of financial inducements under the terms of the Local Employment Bill, but, as I told the hon. Member for Cardiff, North (Mr. Box), in reply to his Parliamentary Question on 11th February, the Board of Trade would be prepared to see more industry located there.
