HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 cc161-2W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he expects to be in a position to make an announcement within the next six months concerning the building of advance factories in Wales.

Sir J. Eden

I will consider further advance factories in Wales when more of those now available or still to be built are occupied. Four factories are available and another two are expected to be completed within the next six months.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many advance factories in Wales have been built or whose building was announced in 1965 to 1969, inclusive; and how many were so built or announced during the years 1960 to 1964, inclusive.

Sir J. Eden

Under the Local Employment Acts, nine advance factories were announced between 1960 and 1964 inclusive; of these, two were completed during this period and seven subsequently. Between 1965 and 1969, 40 were announced, of which 29 were completed in the same period, seven have been completed this year and four remain to be completed.
