HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 c314W
Mr. Alec Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the number of jobs lost to Wales as a consequence of firms abandoning or postponing industrial developments which they had been proposing prior to 18th June, 1970.

Mr. Anthony Grant

By no means all firms notify the Department of modifications to their plans and no meaningful estimate can be made of jobs gained or lost as a result of changes in intention since any given date.
