Dalkeith and Esk Valley

HC Deb 24 February 1965 vol 707 c99W

38. Mr. J. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to extend the growth area to include Dalkeith and the Esk Valley.

Mr. Willis

As part of its work of preparing a plan for Scotland the Scottish Economic Planning Board is reviewing the previous Government's proposals for Central Scotland and, while this is proceeding piecemeal decisions about particular areas would be premature.
