HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 cc314-5W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the expanding population and high rates, he will establish an industrial trading estate in the Luton rural district by the issue of industrial development certificates.

Mr. Jay

Existing industry in the area, where there is at present a general shortage of labour, seems likely to absorb any additional labour becoming available. I see no grounds for a relaxation in the issue of industrial development certificates.
