* Industrial buildings for which industria development certificates have been issued.
† Applicants' estimates of the employment expected to arise when projects are fully manned.

Mr. Leadbitter

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of new jobs available during the next 18 months arising from firm inquiries for industrial development and Government projects in the Hartlepool area.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Jobs in prospect expected to arise during the next four years in the Hartlepools area in authorised new industrial buildings and in existing premises taken over by manufacturing industry total 1,700 including 1,350 for males. I regret that no satisfactory estimate can be made for an 18 months period.
