§ Mr. J. Taylorasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the heavy and persistent incidence of unemployment in Bo'ness and district, West Lothian, he will designate Bo'ness as a development district in terms of the Local Employment Act, 1960.
§ Mr. J. RodgersMy right hon. Friend does not consider that the rate of unemployment which exists or is to be expected in Bo'ness is such that its designation as a development district would be appropriate. But he will continue to watch the position.
