HC Deb 03 March 1959 vol 601 c28W
66. Mr. Slater

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are the prospects of the development of industrial sites in Newton Aycliffe; what factory sites are still available at the Aycliffe Trading Estate; and what are the prospects of any new industry coming on to this estate within the near future.

Mr. J. Rodgers

We keep in mind the need for additional employment on the Aycliffe Trading Estate, and extensions have been authorised which will provide over 300 jobs. There are 187 acres still available for new industry on six plots on the Trading Estate.
