Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many jobs, for men and women, respectively, are now available in advance factories in Scotland authorised since October, 1964; and what proportion of these new jobs are in manufacturing industry.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

31 of the Board of Trade advance factories authorised for Scotland since October, 1964, are occupied. They are providing employment for 860 men and 1,240 women but many are expected to recruit yet more labour. All but about 50 of the jobs are in manufacturing industry.
