HC Deb 19 March 1969 vol 780 cc101-2W
Mr. Brewis

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will build an advance factory in the Machars of Wigtownshire, in view of the persistent high unemployment there.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

I am aware of the nature of the unemployment problem in the Machars of Wigtownshire. We have no plans to build an advance factory in the area, but assistance under the Local Employment Acts is available to an eligible industrialist wishing to establish a factory there.
