HC Deb 24 February 1971 vol 812 cc171-2W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the estimated number of new jobs now put in the pipeline since September, 1970; and how many jobs have been lost in the same period.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Industrial development certificates issued for Scotland since September, 1970, were estimated by the applicants to provide 6,690 jobs when the projects concerned were completed and fully manned. No estimate is available of the number of jobs which will result from developments not requiring industrial development certificates or of the number of jobs lost in the same period.
