HC Deb 12 December 1963 vol 686 c121W
84. Mr. Hooson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the advance factory to be built with funds to be provided by the Development Corporation at Aberystwyth has attracted an immediate and suitable tenant, he will now authorise the Development Commissioners to build at least one advance factory in each Welsh administrative county affected by rural depopulation.

Mr. Green

The Development Commissioners will continue to consider on their merits applications for assistance for firms wishing to move into the mid-Wales area. They will also, I am sure, make appropriate recommendations to the Treasury if they think that it would be desirable to promote other advance factory projects in specific places, from within the resources available in the Development Fund.
