HC Deb 27 February 1968 vol 759 c325W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many new jobs have been created and taken in the Scottish coalfields between 1964 and the latest convenient date.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

I regret that information in the form requested is not available. But it is estimated that industrial buildings for which industrial development certificates were issued and which were completed in the period, January, 1964-June, 1967, for manufacturing industry, will, when fully manned, provide employment for 25,200 in the Scottish coalfields.
