HC Deb 10 April 1981 vol 2 c376W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many applications have been received by prospective companies to locate in each of the announced enterprise zones.

Mr. King

Inquiries ranging from requests for information to firm offers for individual sites are made to prospective enterprise zone authorities and not the Department. No central records are kept; but broad estimates for the English zone range from several hundred for some zones announced last summer to several dozen for some of those announced more recently.
