HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 cc102-3W
Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are the present establishments of the Industrial Estates Management Corporation in Wales and Scotland, respectively.

Mr. Jay

The figures for June, 1966 are 280 and 898 respectively. The difference between the figures is largely accounted for by the much greater provision of canteen services in Scotland and by the Scottish practice of landlords responsibility for repairs.

Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the President of the Board of Trade what additional staff have been provided for his Department and for the Industrial Estates Management Corporation in Wales since the recent announcement of a new advance factory programme in South Wales.

Mr. Jay

One additional post has recently been approved. The Corporation is reviewing its further needs in the light of the recent growth in its activities.
