HC Deb 11 March 1981 vol 1000 c324W
23. Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he decided not to include the site at Barry Buddon in the list of preferred sites in Scotland for the possible location of the proposed Nissan-Datsun plant.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Barry Buddon did not meet the requirement laid down by Nissan's consultants that a suggested site should be available for purchase and completion of other legal formalities in time for site preparation and plant construction to start before the beginning of 1982.
