This is a matter which affects two villages and the town of Kilsyth in West Sterling. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that these two villages may well decay unless some local industry is stimulated? It is not sufficient to suggest that new industries will be provided in Cumbernauld, because that area is for Glasgow's overspill. We must have new industries to save this triangle of Croy, Twechar and Kilsyth. Will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to bring new industries to this area where all the collieries are being closed?
