HC Deb 16 December 1965 vol 722 c327W
95. Mr. Milne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will examine the possibilities of siting a major car production plant in the North-East, in view of forthcoming pit closures and the contraction of the mining industry in Northumberland.

Mr. Darling

I shall certainly bear in mind the needs of areas which will be affected by colliery closures, including the North-East, when considering expansion plans for the motor industry.
