§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the President of the Board of Trade how many industrial development certificates have been granted for industrial development in Rhondda in each year since 1960; and what was the estimated number of jobs created by these developments.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyIn the employment exchange areas of Treorchy, Tonypandy and Ferndale, which make up the Rhondda, 33 industrial development certificates for a total of 889,000 sq. ft. were granted in the period 1960 to 1968. These schemes were estimated by the applicants to provide an additional 2,040 jobs. I regret that the risk of disclosure of individual schemes prevents the publication of the figures for each year.
