HC Deb 01 July 1976 vol 914 c293W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when the Industrial Development Advisory Board considered proposals for plants belonging to Brent-ford Nylons to become a workers' co-operative; what views the board expressed on the proposal; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Williams

In recommending that assistance should be made available to David Whitehead Limited, the board took account of the case advanced by the workers' representatives for a co-operative and the likely cost to the Government.
