HC Deb 12 July 1971 vol 821 cc16-7W
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 areas of Nottinghamshire in the last 12 months compared with the number of industrial development certificates applied for, giving the estimated employment, industry by industry.

Mr. Anthony Grant

From 1st June, 1970, to 31st May, 1971, 79 industrial development certificates for 1.3 million sq. ft. were issued for projects of 5,000 sq. ft. and over in Nottinghamshire. These were estimated by the applicants to provide 1,550 jobs of which 1,150 are for males. During the same period no application of this size was refused. I regret that statistics of approvals industry by industry are not available.
