HC Deb 17 May 1971 vol 817 cc201-2W
70. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many new industries and jobs were provided in Hartlepool between 1964 and 1970; and what are the equivalent figures for the area since it became a special development area.

Mr. Anthony Grant

79 industrial development certificates, which were estimated by the companies concerned to provide nearly 7,400 additional jobs when the projects are complete and fully manned, were issued in the Hartlepools Group of Employment Exchange Areas. One certificate has been issued since the area became a special development area. I regret that I cannot disclose details of individual cases.
