HC Deb 27 June 1961 vol 643 cc16-7W
61. Mr. Idwal Jones

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the future of the Industrial Estate, Wrexham.

Mr. N. Macpherson

Wrexham is not a development district under the Local Employment Act. The Board of Trade have therefore decided to dispose of their industrial property there. In accordance with the Government's normal policy, sitting tenants will be offered first refusal of their industrial holdings. The remaining land, which is not leased to industrial tenants, will be offered back to the former owners.
