HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 c280W
55. Mr. Buchan

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made towards inducing fresh industry to be established in the Linwood area of Renfrewshire.

Mr. Darling

There has been no new industry established in the Linwood area during the last 12 months, but existing industry in the area generally has continued to expand and unemployment has declined from a rate of 2.4 per cent. in January 1965 to 1.9 per cent. last month.
