HC Deb 18 February 1965 vol 706 c250W
70. Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the President of the Board of Trade what measures he is considering to assist the Ford Motor Company in their study for a site for a new plant; and whether he will take into account the availability of land and skilled manpower in the town of Darlington for this purpose.

Mr. Darling

We have already assisted the company in its study of a number of suitable sites in development districts, including some in the North East. In making its final choice the company will no doubt take into account the facilities available at Darlington.
