HC Deb 29 November 1982 vol 33 c25W
40. Mr. Watson

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he is satisfied with the rate at which new English Industrial Estates Corporation factory units are being occupied.

Mr. MacGregor

Yes. In the first six months of the current financial year it has let or sold 365 factories to new occupiers. This is more than in the whole of last financial year, which was itself a record year for new lettings and sales by the corporation.
