HC Deb 14 March 1963 vol 673 c177W
5. Miss Herbison

asked the President of the Board of Trade in which areas jobs are being provided for the unemployed men and women of the villages to the east, north, and west of Coatbridge and Airdrie.

Mr. Erroll

The various developments taking place in North Lanarkshire are estimated to be likely to provide about 6,500 jobs. I cannot say from which towns and villages the firms concerned will recruit their employees.

Mr. Dempsey

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the new jobs promised to Coatbridge and Airdrie will be provided; and at which firms they will be.

Mr. Erroll

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer that I gave him on 29th January. I cannot give the names of the individual firms concerned, since the details of their projects are provided in confidence.
