Clydebank Enterprise Zone

HC Deb 25 March 1981 vol 1 c341W

Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he now expects the Clydebank enterprise zone to be fully operational.

Mr. Younger

I now hope that the zone will come into operation by August, but the timing will depend on the period required to carry out the statutory procedures specified in schedule 32 to the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, most of which are the responsibility of the Clydebank and city of Glasgow district councils.

This time scale is later than originally envisaged, but it took longer than expected to finalise the boundaries of the zone.
