HC Deb 01 August 1963 vol 682 c145W
Mr. Mason

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has studied the representations made to him by Barnsley Corporation concerning W. Fraser and Company Limited at Monk Bretton, Barnsley, who are planning to cease activities; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Erroll

The Barnsley Corporation has made certain representations about this factory to the Board of Trade Controller at Leeds. He has told the Town Clerk that, subject to the overriding needs of the development districts, the Board of Trade will do what it can to assist the Ministry of Aviation, which owns the factory, to find a new tenant.
