Mr. Bob Brownasked the President of the Board of Trade how many new jobs for men and women were provided in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Newburn urban district, respectively, during each of the last five years; and if he will estimate the numbers projected in the next 12 months.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody:Information on the number of new jobs provided is not available but the additional employment which applicants for industrial development certificates estimated would arise from buildings completed for manufacturing industry in the employment exchange areas of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Newburn is given in the table below.
These two exchange areas cannot be considered in isolation in view of the extensive travel to work in the district and the table, therefore, includes similar information for the Tyneside Group of employment exchanges as a whole.
It is not possible to say how many jobs will be provided during the next 71W twelve months, but on the basis of estimates given by applicants for industrial development certificates, the number of new jobs expected to arise within the next four years in authorised new industrial buildings and in existing buildings
