A factory of 5,000 sq. ft. has been occupied this month and is expected to provide about 50 jobs. A further large factory is unlet as is a smaller one of 5,100 sq. ft. An application for the smaller factory is being considered. Efforts to let the larger factory will continue.

Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what further progress he can report on his Department's efforts to obtain a tenant for the advance factory at Mosshill industrial estate.

Mr. Anthony

A firm application is under consideration.

Mr. McBride

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now announce the letting of the factory erected on the industrial estate at Morriston, Swansea; and how many more factories will be erected there as a result of inquiries from industrialists.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Although interest continues to be shown in this factory, no firm application has yet been received for its occupation or for the construction of further factories.
