Mr. Symonds
asked the President of the Board of Trade in view of the pit closures in West Cumberland in the near future, whereby 1,100 men will be affected, what new industries he expects to be established there within the next 12 months or so.

Industrial developments already approved for West Cumberland, including the building of three Board of Trade factories, should provide some 1,500 jobs for men in the next 12 months.
