§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he is satisfied with the amount of factory development in respect of which industrial development certificates have been granted in Wales in the first half of 1971; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasWhile the number of industrial development certificates so far issued this year is below that for the corresponding period of 1970. I have every reason to expect that as the rate of economic activity in the United Kingdom increases, following the Government's recent measures, Wales will benefit considerably.
