HC Deb 08 February 1971 vol 811 c21W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the total figures of industrial development certificates issued for projects over 5,000 square feet in the area of Nottinghamshire in the last 12 months compared with the number of industrial development certificates applied for, giving the estimated additional employment industry by industry.

Sir J. Eden

During 1970, 83 industrial development certificates were issued for 1.6 million square feet in Nottinghamshire. These were estimated by the applicants to provide 2,310 jobs, of which 1,360 are for males. During the same period two applications for certificates were refused. I regret that statistics of approvals industry by industry are not available.
