HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 cc233-4W
56. Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the area of the factories in Wales for which he issued industrial development certificates in the latest available period of 12 months and the number of jobs expected to be provided thereby; and if he will give a comparison with the issue of industrial development certificates and the number of jobs in the same 12 month period of each of the preceding two years.

Mr. Jay

For the last twelve months, seven million sq. ft. expected to provide over 18,000 jobs, compared with 2.9 million and 7,400 respectively in the year ending June, 1965 and 2.3 million and 4,700 for the year before that.
