§ 53. Mr. Edwin Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, how many new jobs have been created in the Yorkshire coalfield since 18th June, 1970; and how many of such jobs were for men.
§ Mr. ChatawayI regret that a figure of jobs created is not available from industrial development certificates approved since 1st July, 1970, over 6,800 jobs, 4,000 of which were for men, were estimated by the applicants to arise when the projects were complete and fully manned. This does not take account of jobs created in the service sector.
