HC Deb 16 July 1973 vol 860 cc15-6W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many new jobs have been created as the result of Common Market investment in the United Kingdom since 1st January 1973.

Mr. Anthony Grant

This information is not available in respect of the United Kingdom as a whole. I can, however, say that since 1st January the Department has received 55 inquiries from firms in other EEC countries. A number of these inquiries should lead to projects which, when operational, will create new employment, especially in the assisted areas.
