HC Deb 29 March 1960 vol 620 c115W
77. Mr. Ross

asked the President of the Board of Trade what reply he has made to the representations sent to him by Kilmarnock Trades Council that Kilmarnock should be listed as a locality eligible for assistance under the Local Employment Act.

Mr. J. Rodgers

The Trades Council has been told that the Board of Trade do not regard Kilmarnock as a place where high and persistent unemployment exists or is threatened: it cannot, therefore, be listed as a locality eligible for assistance.
