HC Deb 29 February 1968 vol 759 c393W
Mr. Milne

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what talks have taken place in order to examine the possibility of siting factories in South-East Northumberland for the purpose of manufacturing goods and equipment needed to aid and assist the underdeveloped countries.

Mr. Prentice:

None. There is no category of goods financed by aid funds in which the demand is large enough, over a sufficiently long period, to make it practicable to set up factories for its production.
