§ Mr. Hickmetasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate what effect regional aid grant of three enterprise zones, his Department's special employment measures, grants and cheap loans from the European Economic Community, derelict land grants, urban aid grants and the activities of English Industrial Estates have had upon employment in the parliamentary constituency of Glanford and Scunthorpe.
§ Sir George Young[pursuant to his reply, 2 December 1985, c. 59]: I estimate that since September 1983 just over 1,000 jobs have been created in the three areas within the two enterprise zones in Glanford and Scunthorpe, including that managed by English Estates. This includes 64 jobs directly related to schemes aided by derelict land grant and a proportion of the jobs protected or provided with the aid of regional selective assistance which also total nearly 1,000 throughout Glanford and Scunthorpe. In addition, some 20 jobs have been created outside the zones by grants under the urban programme.
372WI have no information about jobs created as a result of EEC funding. I am asking my right hon. and learned Friend the Paymaster General to write to my hon. Friend with information about the effect of special employment measures.
