HC Deb 16 November 1966 vol 736 c142W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Labour what is the number of new jobs provided in non-service industries in Wales since 1964.

Mr. Gunter

Information in the form requested is not available. However, my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade has informed me that some 10,000 new jobs were expected to arise in manufacturing industries in Wales in new factories completed between the beginning of 1964 and mid 1966. This figure is based on estimates made by firms to whom industrial development certificates had been granted, of the numbers of new jobs that would arise when the completed factories were fully manned.
