Newton-le- Willows

HC Deb 09 April 1963 vol 675 c124W

66. Mr. Lee

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will designate the urban district of Newton-le-Willows as a development district.

Mr. D. Price

No. My right hon. Friend does not consider that the prospects of this area would justify his adding it to the list of development districts. He is keeping a watch on the position in view of the forthcoming closure of the British Railways workshops.
