HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 c66W
Ms. Harman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many firms and how many warehousing jobs will be lost when the vesting order relating to Greenland/South docks at Surrey docks is implemented.

Sir George Young

The order vesting land at Greenland and South docks in LDDC's ownership came into operation on 1 August 1981 (SI 1981 No. 1146).

So far as employment prospects are concerned, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave her on 29 February at column 232. I undestand that there is one firm currently occupying land owned by LDDC at Greenland and South docks which employs 86 warehousing staff; LDDC is making arrangements for the relocation of this firm to West Thurrock which should not result in any loss in the number of jobs.
