21. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what new inquiries regarding industrial development in the north-east of England have been made since the declaration of further special development areas; and what contribution they are estimated to make to relieve the mounting total of unemployed.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Thirty-one. It is too early to say how many jobs may arise.
