HC Deb 24 July 1979 vol 971 c167W
Mr. Dixon

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects the reclamation work to be completed at Jarrow Slake; if the reclaimed land will be available for industrial development; and what plans he has to encourage industrialists to develop there.

Mr. David Mitchell

I understand that reclamation work on the Jarrow Slake has been completed and the Port of Tyne Authority, which owns the land, is seeking tenants for the site.

Jarrow remains a special development area where the highest levels of regional assistance in Great Britain are available to encourage industrial development.
