§ Mr. Woofasked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of migration due to declining industry and the future level of employment in the Blaydon area.
§ Mr. JayEstimates of migration are not available. Future employment in Blaydon depends very largely on the attraction of new industry. I am glad to be able to report encouraging progress as a result of which some 1,600 jobs are in prospect from new projects already approved for the area.
