Mr. George Rodgers
asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will locate advance factories in areas affected by the decline in the textile industry and in areas affected by cuts in the defence programme.
Mr. Gregor Mackenzie
Advance factories are announced in a series of programmes designed to allow a flexible response to employment problems of particular areas. The areas my hon. Friend has mentioned will, of course, be borne in mind when further programmes are considered.
