HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 cc136-7W
84. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress is being made in the construction of the aluminium smelter in Scotland.

Mr. Dell

The British Aluminium Company has appointed a British engineering consortium as main contractor for their plant at Invergordon and preliminary site work has begun. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland has set up a special steering group, on which the Company is represented, to co-ordinate all constructional work in the area both on major industrial developments and on infrastructure.
