HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 cc120-1W
109. Mr. McLaren

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in view of the present level of unemployment, he will issue industrial development certificates for Bristol.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The level of unemployment is already taken into account in considering I.D.C. applications. In the last three years, only one I.D.C. has been refused in Bristol.
