HC Deb 05 July 1967 vol 749 cc258-9W
103. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what information he has about the siting and scope of the work of new factories in Aberdeen; and if he will give details of the employment they will provide.

Mr. Darling

Since 1st January, 1966, 14 industrial development certificates have been issued for new factories and extensions in the Aberdeen Ministry of Labour Local Office area for a range of industry including electrical engineering, food processing, and metal manufacture. The developers estimate that 200 workers, 150 of them men, will be required, to which will be added employment in the two Board of Trade advance factories for which we are actively seeking tenants.
