HC Deb 17 February 1965 vol 706 c236W
Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is his policy towards the expansion of industry in a development area when the labour immediately available may not reach the eventual total which will be necessary to meet the industry's expansion programme.

Mr. Darling

In considering the needs of the development districts for new or expanding industry, the question whether the necessary labour will be available at the time it is needed is one of the factors which are taken into account.
