§ 86. Mr. Urwinasked the president of the Board of Trade what assessment he has made of the area of unused factory space in the Northern Region; how many advance factories remain untenanted; what proposals he has for the utilisation of spare capacity; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyNo complete record of unoccupied factory space is kept by the Board of Trade. The Regional Office in Newcastle keep records of empty industrial space in the Northern Region notified to them and bring the information to the attention of suitable firms. There are nine completed Board of Trade advance factories still untenanted in the Northern Region. Interest has been expressed in four of these; every effort, including advertising in the national press, is being made to find tenants for the remainder.
