Mr. Bray

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the number of factories and/or factory sites which have been purchased or let in the boroughs of Bacup, Haslingden and Rawtenstall, respectively, in each of the calen- dar years 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1st January 1973 to the latest available date.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I regret that this complete information is not readily available to my Department. However, during 1970–72, 13 industrial development certificate projects covering 344,000 square feet were approved and one advance factory was built in the area.
