Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this triangle of Croy, Twechar and Kilsyth has lost its main industry, namely, coal mining? There is now very little or no industry within it. Is there any possibility of the right hon. Gentleman providing an advance factory in that area so as to encourage some industrialists to go there? We recognise the magnitude of the problem facing the right hon. Gentleman, but anybody looking at this problem in an unbiassed way must come to the conclusion that there is a grave need for some new industries to come to this area.
