HC Deb 27 March 1972 vol 834 c13W
Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many jobs are in prospect in Wales, at the latest available date; and how this figure compares with that at 1st July, 1970.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Based on estimates by the firms concerned, some 19,100 factory jobs are now in prospect in Wales. This does not include additional jobs which may arise in the non-manufacturing service sector. The figure for mid-1970 was 30,900.
