§ 30. Dr. J. Dickson Mabonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what further proposals he has to reduce unemployment in Scotland and particularly on Clydeside.
§ Mr. YoungerThe proposals announced in the Budget will continue our strategy for recovery by providing assistance to industry and individuals without jeopardising progress on inflation and productivity and will enhance employment opportunities in Scotland and on Clydeside.
As part of the West of Scotland special development area, Clydeside already benefits from the maximum level 160W of regional incentives to industry, and we are also supporting a number of special initiatives, such as the Clydeside enterprise zone and the Glasgow eastern area renewal project, designed to tackle the problems of particular localities.
