HC Deb 11 November 1968 vol 773 cc55-6W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken to find a tenant for the factory vacated by Saltaire's in Uddingston; what consideration he has given to reducing the rent; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The factory formerly occupied by Salts (Saltaire) Ltd. is being extensively renovated and will not be ready for occupation until next spring. The factory has been drawn to the attention of sixteen firms, eight of whom have made visits, but no firm application has been received. In accordance with our normal policy the rent will be the current market value as assessed by the district valuer.
