HC Deb 06 March 1968 vol 760 cc99-100W
87. Mr. Urwin

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has any immediate proposals to facilitate the provision of additional industrial land within and adjacent to the constituency of Houghton-le-Spring.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

An additional 13 acres has just been purchased to extend the existing industrial estate at Houghton-le-Spring. Negotiations have been started to acquire 46 acres at Rainton Bridge, in my hon. Friend's constituency, and 43 acres at Pennywell, Sunderland, which is outside it.
