HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 cc131-2W
68. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that productivity and employment in Aberdeen is being prejudiced by the drift south to England of skilled craftsmen and women and other workers of both sexes; and if he will state his plans to assist industry there and so negative this drift south.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

I shall continue our efforts to assist the provision of more employment opportunities in Aberdeen by making full use of the wide range of incentives now available to industry in Development Areas.
