§ Mr. John Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many advance factories have been announced to date for Wales since 18th June, 1970; when they were announced; and when he intends to announce the next number allocated to Wales.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantThree were authorised by the Department in December, 1971; it is intended that they will be built in the Abercarn, Ebbw Vale and Merthyr Tydfil areas. In addition two advance factories were authorised by the Development Commission in May, 1971, for Brecon and Cardigan. I will consider the need for further advance factories in Wales when occupiers have been found for more of those at present available and authorised.
