HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 c467W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the source and basis of the statement he made on 11 December, Official Report, column 944, that 4,700 permanent jobs have been created in the London docklands.

Sir George Young

The figure of 4,700 permanent jobs created in London docklands quoted is derived from two sources: (1) LDDC's record of firms that have moved into the area since July 1981 (3,772 jobs created); and (2) the number of jobs created through IUAA funding (928 jobs created).
