HC Deb 25 January 1968 vol 757 c169W
Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken to encourage large modern industries into South Yorkshire, including the sub-region around Sheffield, employing at least 1,000 people, and preferably over 5,000; and if he will list the new industries of this size brought into this sub-region in the last three years.

Mr. Darling

There are very few industrial projects of this size seeking new locations and the development areas must continue to have first claim on them. No such projects have moved into Sheffield in the last three years.
