§ Mr. Wrightasked the President of the Board of Trade what action is being taken to seek to avert the closure of the Remington factory in Thornliebank; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyWhile I greatly regret the loss of employment which will result from the closure of this factory, the decision was taken by the company on commercial grounds, and there are no grounds on which I could intervene. Every possible effort will be made to find a new tenant for the factory as soon as possible.
