HC Deb 06 March 1967 vol 742 c224W
Mr. Leadbitter

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many new jobs for males and females, respectively, are expected to arise in the Northern Region from authorised new industrial buildings during 1967–68.

Mr. Darling

No precise estimate is possible. I.D.C. projects approved in 1965 and 1966 were estimated by the applicants to lead, when complete and fully manned, to over 29,000 extra jobs for males and nearly 11,000 females and further projects are coming forward.
