HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 cc339-40W
37. Mr. G. Campbell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what decisions the Government have taken on the siting of new aluminium smelter works in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Crosland

None as yet, except for the decision that any new smelters must be built in development areas. Their precise location must depend on a careful evaluation of the proposals put forward by the aluminium companies.
