HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 c319W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many firms have set up factories in Scotland since 1966; and how many men and women, respectively, they employ.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

In the first six months of 1967 (the latest period for which the figures are available) 80 new projects or extensions for manufacturing industry for which industrial development certificates have been issued were completed in Scotland. They are estimated by the applicants for the certificates to provide, when fully staffed, 5,410 jobs for males and 2,970 for females.
