HC Deb 25 February 1965 vol 707 c128W
31. Mr. Boston

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the scope for development on the Isle of Sheppey and of the need for more employment in the area; and whether he will draw the advantages of the Island to the attention of those firms seeking to expand or set up factories of offices and which need to remain in the South-East of England.

Mr. Jay

Yes. We shall continue to bring the advantages of Sheppey to the attention of firms with suitable projects that we are satisfied must remain in the South-East.
