§ 99. Mr. Murrayasked the President of the Board of Trade the names of the nine places where factories are under construction in the Durham coalfield; and if he will give the number of adult males and females that will be employed in each factory.
§ Mr. H. StraussFour of the nine projects for new factories and extensions are at Consett, three are at Stanley, one is at Bishop Auckland and one is at Sedgefield. I regret that I cannot give the numbers of people to be employed by individual firms at new factories, since these figures are confidential.
