HC Deb 25 February 1965 vol 707 cc128-9W
34. Mr. Bence

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to encourage the Ford Motor Company to lay down a plant in the new town of Cumbernauld.

Mr. Jay

We have helped Fords in their study of suitable sites in development districts including those in Scotland. The final choice between these, or other suitable sites, rest with the company.

44. Mr. Box

asked the President of the Board of Trade what approaches have been made by the Ford Motor Company for an industrial development certificate in respect of the Wentloog area of Cardiff.

Mr. Jay

Applications for industrial development certificates are made in confidence and it is therefore the Board's practice not to disclose whether an application has been made.

45. Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the President of the Board of Trade what discussions he has had with the Ford Motor Company about the location of a major extension of their works.

Mr. Jay

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton).
