HC Deb 11 December 1952 vol 509 c88W
99. Mr. Murray

asked the President of the Board of Trade the names of the nine places where factories are under construction in the Durham coalfield; and if he will give the number of adult males and females that will be employed in each factory.

Mr. H. Strauss

Four of the nine projects for new factories and extensions are at Consett, three are at Stanley, one is at Bishop Auckland and one is at Sedgefield. I regret that I cannot give the numbers of people to be employed by individual firms at new factories, since these figures are confidential.
