HC Deb 31 October 1968 vol 772 c1W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many completed advance factories in Scotland are currently awaiting tenants; what is the length of time that each has been standing idle since completion; and what in each instance is the aggregate cost to date to public funds.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Fifteen, as at 31st October. On average, these factories have been completed for nine months. They cost about £1.5 million in all, but I cannot disclose the cost of individual factories.
