HC Deb 07 December 1964 vol 703 cc139-40W
75. Mr. Hale

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will hold discussions with the Minister of Labour on questions of location of new industries and especially on the needs of those areas which are suffering from a a continued diminution of population.

Mr. Darling

In considering the location of new industries, the Board of Trade keeps in close touch with the Ministry of Labour and other interested Departments. We must however give priority to the needs of the development districts and Northern Ireland.
