HC Deb 28 March 1974 vol 871 c201W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how many new jobs were created in Wales as a result of industrial building completion in the period 1970 to 1974; what is the comparable figure for 1965 to 1969; and what are the corresponding figures for Carmarthen-shire.

Mr. Mackenzie

The information is not available in the form requested. Employment created by manufacturing establishments new to Wales known to the Department which opened in the periods 1966–69 and 1970–73, with corresponding figures for Carmarthenshire, is:

Wales Carmarthenshire
1966–69
23,600 2,200
1970–73
14,800 600

There is delay in securing information and therefore the latest figures are underestimated.
