HC Deb 19 March 1973 vol 853 cc7-8W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many applications are currently before his Department for vacant Government advance factory space in Cornwall; how many factories are on offer; of what square footage they are; where they are situ- ated; and what, in each case, was the date from which they became fully available.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The only vacant factory is the West Penwith No. 2 of 5,950 sq ft situated at Hayle. It was completed in June 1972 and there are three applications currently under consideration. Two factories, each of 10,000 sq ft, are still to be built at Truro and Newquay, and three future factories were announced on 15th January by my right hon. Friend the Minister for Industrial Development, to be built—one of 10,000 sq ft at Callington and two of 20,000 sq ft at Camborne and Penryn.
