§ Mr. Muddasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will state the intended locations of advance factories in Cornwall, the date of designation of each, the intended sizes of each; when work was started or is intended to start on construction; the anticipated dates for occupancy; 11W and the number of anticipated jobs each factory is designed to create.
Intended location Date announced Size Building starts sq. ft. metres Callington … … … January 1973 … … 10,000 930 October 1974 Camborne … … … January 1973 … … 20,000 1,860 Not yet known Newquay … … … January 1969 … … 10,000 930 March 1974 Penryn … … … January 1973 … … 20,000 1,860 Not yet known Truro … … … June 1967 … … 10,000 930 September 1973 Hayle … … … July 1974 … … 10,000 930 1975 Because of continuing difficulties connected with the siting of the factories at Camborne and Penryn it is not yet possible to say when building there will start. Efforts are being made to obtain suitable tenants for the remaining factories. The number of jobs in each of the 10,000 sq. ft. factories is expected to be about 40, and 80 in those of 20,000 sq. ft., but the numbers depend on the type of work eventually introduced by the tenants.
