§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is aware that there is empty factory space available in Catrine, which lies in an area of high unemployment; and if he will make a statement on the action his Department is taking to find a suitable prospective tenant.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI am aware that a former textile mill is empty in Catrine and that the owners are anxious to find an occupier. While this is of course primarily a matter for the owners, the Department's office for Scotland has included the premises in its register of available private premises, and has drawn them to the attention of a number of inquirers seeking factory space.
