§ Mr. William Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many industrialists have visited the available advance factory at Blaenau Ffestioniog in the company of his officials; and whether he will assign an individual civil servant to be responsible for the letting of this factory.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantOfficials have accompanied industrialists to the premises on three occasions. In addition, the factory has been suggested to 46 other industrialists. It would not be practicable to assign full responsibility for letting the factory to any one officer in my Department but the resources of the office for Wales—including those in the North Wales district office—will continue to be used in making every effort to find a suitable tenant.
