§ Mrs. Winifred Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will announce the locations of the advance factories to be constructed in Scotland amounting to 550,000 sq. ft.; if he is satisfied that there will be no hold-up in the construction; and if he will give probable starting and concluding dates.
§ Mr. William RossOf the 550,000 sq. ft. of advance factory space announced by my hon. Friend the Minister of State, Department of Industry on 25th June, 200,000 sq. ft. will be built in Scotland. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Dundee, West (Mr. Doig) on 30th June which gave the locations of the Scottish factories.—[Vol. 894, c. 149.]
It is not yet possible to give starting or completion dates, but there will be no avoidable delay in construction.
