HC Deb 19 March 1969 vol 780 cc90-1W
57. Mr. David Watkins

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proposals he has to bring new industry to the special development area at Stanley, County Durham, to provide employment for the men who will be made redundant by the closure of Craghead Colliery.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Substantial new industry has already been introduced into the area, and a third advance factory has been authorised. The Board of Trade will bring the advantages of the area to the attention of industrialists on all suitable occasions.
