HC Deb 18 April 1967 vol 745 cc77-8W
Mr. Emlyn Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) how many factories closed down in the Principality in the year 1966; and what area of floor space this represents;

(2) how many new factories were actually completed in Wales in 1966; and what area of factory floor space this represents.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

Eighty-five new factories and extensions for which industrial development certificates were issued have so far been notified to the Government as having been completed for manufacturing industry in Wales during 1966. Their total area is 1.9 million sq. ft.

I regret that the information for which the hon. Member asks in his first question is not available.
