HC Deb 04 July 1969 vol 786 cc159-60W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many inquiries were received from industrialists for factory space in the Carmarthen constituency in the years ended October, 1965, and 1968, respectively; how many resulted in the establishment of new industry; and how many men and women they employ.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No record is available about inquiries for particular areas. The number of occasions on which locations in the Carmarthen constituency have been suggested to industrialists is:

Year ended October
1965 1968
2 45

As a result of these suggestions one advance factory has been let. In addition one industrial development certificate was issued in the year ended October, 1965, and two certificates in the year ended October, 1968. Altogether the firms concerned estimated that these projects would provide jobs for 70 men and 38 women when fully manned.
