HC Deb 31 July 1964 vol 699 c474W
Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development, whether he is aware of the high rate of juvenile unemployment in Fife; and what steps he intends to take to attract suitable industry to Fife to give maximum employment to juvenile workers of both sexes there.

Mr. du Cann

My right hon. Friend is aware of the juvenile employment problem in Fife. He will continue to encourage suitable industrial projects in the development districts there. Fifeshire will benefit from the increase in the level of activity throughout the region, which is the objective of the Government's programme for development and growth in Central Scotland.
