§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Industry why in the Small Firms' Counselling Service advertisements in the Newcastle papers three of the six managerial business men shown as available to help those running businesses were shown as being available for consultation in Cockermouth, which is 80 miles from Newcastle.
§ Mr. CryerThe Small Firms' Counselling Service is now operating throughout the Northern Region, including Newcastle and Cockermouth, and Press publicity has been undertaken in the major regional newspapers. As coverage by Newcastle newspapers extends into Cumbria, it was decided to give publicity to the availability of counsellors in Cocker-mouth for the benefit of those firms whose owners might find it equally convenient to visit the area counselling offices in either Newcastle or Cockermouth.
