§ 69. Mr. GEORGE HALLasked the Minister of Labour whether he can make any statement as to the establishment of trading estates in South Wales?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead)The South Wales and Monmouthshire Trading Estate Company will shortly be registered. A board of directors has been formed and a secretary appointed. Meanwhile sites are being examined but it is impossible to make a comprehensive statement until the negotiations have been satisfactorily concluded. I understand that satisfactory progress is also being made in the private venture by the Town and Factories Development, Limited, to set up a trading estate at Port Talbot.
