HC Deb 02 February 1965 vol 705 c275W
Q14. Mr. Noble

asked the Prime Minister what extra provision has been provided specifically for Scotland since 15th October in the capital programme for roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, electricity generation and distribution, ports, harbours or other public works; what is the total extra money provided; and how many extra jobs he expects to be provided therefrom.

The Prime Minister

The right hon. Gentleman must await the outcome of our review of public expenditure programmes, in which we will take full account of Scotland's economic and social needs.

Q15. Mr. Noble

asked the Prime Minister what extra incentives he has provided specifically for Scotland since 15th October to maintain or increase the impetus of industrial development in that country.

The Prime Minister

Nine advance factories for development districts in Scotland were included in the programme announced by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade on 18th November, 1964; and tighter restraint of industrial and office development in congested areas will assist Scotland.
