§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state his plans to facilitate the expansion of industries in Aberdeen and advance factories there.
§ Mr. DarlingThe advance factory programme which my right hon. Friend announced on 24th September provides for the building of a 12,500 sq. ft. factory at Aberdeen. It is too soon to consider authorising more advance factories, but as Aberdeen is in a development district all the inducements provided by the Local Employment Acts are available to encourage industrial development there.
