HC Deb 21 June 1960 vol 625 c25W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will now approve Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council's application for the re-zoning for industrial purposes of 75 acres of land in Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, particularly in view of the need to attract new industry to North Staffordshire.

Sir K. Joseph

My right hon. Friend is considering the application in the light of the position in that part of North Staffordshire and expects to be able to reach a decision shortly.
