HC Deb 20 May 1968 vol 765 c38W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the President of the Board of Trade what numbers of applications his Department has received for industrial development certificates in the Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry employment areas in the months from January to April of this year; and how many of these have been granted.

Mr. Dell

It is not the practice of the Board of Trade to publish statistics of the number of applications which have been received for industrial development certificates. In January to April this year 11 certificates were issued in the Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry employment exchange areas.

Mr. William Price

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many applications for industrial development certificates in Rugby have been turned down during 1965, 1966 and 1967.

Mr. Dell

It is not the Board of Trade's practice to publish figures for applications refused in the congested regions, as such figures would be misleading.
