§ 2. Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the President of the Board of Trade how many new industries have established themselves in Dorset in the last three years; and how many people they employ.
§ Mr. ErrollInformation on all new industries that have set up in Dorset is not available, because, amongst other factors, industrial development certificates are not required for new factories of less than 5,000 sq. ft. in area. Forty-three industrial development certificates for new buildings and extensions were issued between 1st April, 1960, and 31st May, 1963, with an estimated total employment of 1,065. Seven of the firms concerned were new to the county.
