Mr. Duffy

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development how many applications for industrial development certificates have been received and granted by his Department in 1961, 1962, and 1963, respectively, by industry, type and local authority district.

Mr. D. Price

In the area covered by the Colne Valley constituency five industrial development certificates were issued in 1961; three in 1962 and four in 1963. Over half the certificates were for textile industries; the remainder were for engineering, wood products and chemicals. It is not possible to give details by local authority areas without disclosing confidential information on individual projects.
