HC Deb 10 July 1968 vol 768 cc64-5W
48. Mr. Eadie

asked the President of the Board of Trade what further steps he has taken to ensure the provision of further employment for miners in Scotland as a consequence of pit closures.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Every effort is being made to encourage male-employing projects in areas affected by colliery closures and I am pleased to say that the special development area incentives announced in November, 1967, are beginning to show results.
