Unemployment

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 17 December 1962.

Alert me about debates like this

For the Government's part we shall concentrate all our efforts not only to bring new expanding industries to the areas, especially in Scotland and the North-East, which have suffered particularly from the decline in the old industries, but we shall concentrate also on having such measures as our economic resources allow to make these areas more attractive as centres of economic growth. I believe that it is only in these ways that the long-term problem can be solved.
