HC Deb 21 December 1966 vol 738 cc354-5W
Mr. R. W. Elliott

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many of the 578 projects in the Northern Region for which industrial development certificates were issued in the six years 1960 to 1965 are in full operation.

Mr. Jay

The figure quoted in the Question relates to the number of i.d.c. projects in manufacturing industry which were completed in the Northern Region in the six years 1960–65. It is not possible without disproportionate effort to say how many of these are now in full operation.
