26. Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what information he has as to the number of businesses which have announced their intentions of moving to Basildon new town in the last two months; and if he will make a statement.

My information is that one major American company which is planning to build a toy superstore in the town employing 200 people, has announced its intention recently to set up in Basildon.
