§ 111. Mr. Kaufmanasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many new jobs were created in Greater Manchester in, respectively, the months July to September, 1970, the year 1971, and the month of January, 1972.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI regret that figures for jobs created are not available, but 27 I.D.C.s were approved from July to September, 1970, in Greater Manchester and were estimated by the applicant firms to give rise to 870 jobs when the projects were complete and fully manned. The corresponding figures for 1971 were 71 and 1,790 jobs and for January, 1972, eight and 181 jobs. These figures relate to manufacturing industry only and do not include employment arising in other sectors.
