§ 66. Mr. Milneasked the President of the Board of Trade what examination has been made of the possibilities of siting Government-owned factories in the Blyth constituency and the North-East during the next six months in order to deal with the immediate unemployment problem.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyAt the end of 1967 over¾million sq. ft. of factory space was under construction by the Board of Trade in North-East England. An advance factory of 25,000 sq. ft. is under construction at Blyth, due for completion in March, and I am prepared to consider siting a further factory there when a tenant is found for this one.
