HC Deb 14 May 1973 vol 856 c226W
29. Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many advance or other factories in Wales owned by his Department have been allocated during the last 12 months; how many jobs are likely to result; and how many such factories are now under construction, comparing the year ending 31st March 1973 with the year ending 31st March 1972.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Twenty-five, compared with six in the year before. 3,000 jobs should arise, compared with 1,300 in the previous year. At 31st March 1972, 10 factories were being built and six were then being planned. By 31st March 1973, seven were under construction, and 15 were being planned.
