HC Deb 01 December 1969 vol 792 c212W
94. Mr. Gordon Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what special action the Government propose to take to improve the numbers of persons in employment in Scotland, in view of the net loss of 67,000 in the last three years for which figures are available.

Mr. Ross

Special measures taken by this Government to encourage industrial progress in the development areas, including the investment grant differential, the regional employment premium, extended assistance for industrial training and the setting up of the special development areas, have led to substantial progress in the Scottish economy.
