HC Deb 10 July 1973 vol 859 cc325-6W
72. Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many new jobs have been created by industrial development certificate completions in Wales since June 1970, and how many can be expected from industrial development certificate approvals that are still in the pipeline.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Applicants for IDCs estimated that 18,450 jobs would be created by the completion of schemes of 10,000 sq ft and over in Wales for which IDCs were issued from June 1970 to December 1971. Because of the changes in the IDC control which were made in July 1972 comparable information for 1972 and succeeding years will not be available.
