HC Deb 26 April 1968 vol 763 c92W
Mr. Stodart

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the unemployment rate in Edinburgh, Leith and Portobello, announced on 22nd April, he will revise the boundaries of the development area so as to include them.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Unemployment is only one of the factors taken into account in the designation of development areas. My right hon. Friend has no present intentions of revising the boundaries of the Scottish development area.
