HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 cc303-4W
53. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make a statement on advance factories in Sunderland at present not allocated.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Two factories are available, one of 25,000 sq. ft. and one of 15,000 sq. ft. Two are under construction, of 15,000 sq. ft. and 10,000 sq. ft. Interest is being shown in the 25,000 sq. ft. factory. Sunderland is now a Special Development Area and this should help us to find suitable occupants.

54. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the area of industrial building in Sunderland for which industrial development certificates were issued in 1970.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Industrial development certificates for 122,000 square feet were issued in the Sunderland Employment Exchange area in 1970.
