HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 c279W
52. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is his intention that the omission of Leith from Scotland's development area should redound to the advantage or disadvantage of neighbouring counties, notably East Lothian.

Mr. Darling

To extend the Development Areas to include places such as Leith (and Edinburgh) would not in my view be to the advantage of the country as a whole nor of East Lothian.
