HC Deb 12 July 1982 vol 27 c259W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Industry where, pursuant to his reply of 26 May, the factories to be built by the English Industrial Estates Corporation on Teesside will be situated.

Mr. MacGregor

This is a matter for the corporation. The Secretary of State approved the allocation of financial resources to specific travel-to-work areas. However, it is for the EIEC to determine the timing, precise location and type of development within each TTWA, after paying due regard to market requirements, land availability and the rate at which existing stocks of vacant factories can be let. I have asked the chairman of the EIEC to write to the hon. Member about the matter.
