§ 34. Mr. Hoosonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he intends to implement the suggestion made by the Mid-Wales Industrial Development Association in their annual report to build, at Government expense, a number of small factories in the Mid-Wales area, if necessary in advance of specific requirements.
§ Mr. MaudlingI take it that the hon. Member has in mind the building of factories with money from the Development Fund. The Development Commissioners will certainly consider on their merits any applications for assistance from firms wishing to move into the Mid-Wales area. They will also 41W consider the suggestion, which does, of course, give rise to certain practical difficulties, that factories should be built in advance of a specific requirement.
