HC Deb 09 June 1972 vol 838 c181W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many applications for industrial development certificates have been received for projects in the county of Cardigan during the last 12 months; how many were granted; and what was the square footage of factory floor space involved.

Mr. Anthony Grant

In the employment exchanges most closely approximating to the County of Cardigan one industrial development certificate has been approved and none refused in the 12 months to 30th April, 1972. I regret that details of the certificate cannot be given because of the need to avoid disclosure of information given in confidence by the firm. The Department will continue to do all it can to attract suitable firms to the area.

Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many applications for industrial development certificates for projects in the Biddulph urban district have been withdrawn in each of the past five years.

Mr. Anthony Grant

One, in 1968.
