HC Deb 06 February 1964 vol 688 cc196-7W
37. Mr. Steele

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what new industries have been established in Dumbarton and the Vale of Leven with Government assistance since 1951; how many persons they employ; and what new industries he hopes to have established in these areas in the next 12 months.

Mr. Heath

Excluding expansions of existing firms, two new projects have been established in the area with Government assistance since 1951. I cannot disclose the labour returns of individual firms. The Board of Trade will continue its efforts to attract new industry to the area, but I cannot forecast the result.
