§ Mr. Anthony GrantI regret that figures of jobs created are not available.232W From industrial development certificates approved between 1st July, 1970, and 21st June, 1972, 3,020 jobs, 1,890 for men and 1,130 for women, were estimated by the applicants to arise when the projects were complete and fully manned. This does not, of course, take into account jobs arising in the service sector and in existing industrial buildings. The corresponding figures for the period 22nd March to 21st June, 1972, were 930 jobs. 560 for men and 370 for women.
