§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to allocate two 50,000 sq. ft. advance factories, four 25,000 sq. ft. advance factories, and four 15,000 sq. ft. advance factories at Deeside industrial park, Clwyd; when he proposes to announce his all-Wales allocation of advance factories and industrial units; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerPlans for advance factories are drawn up by the Welsh Development Agency on the basis of a careful assessment of needs and wide consultation across Wales, and submitted to me for approval. I will announce my decision on the agency's latest proposals in due course. At present eight units totalling 20,500 sq. ft. are vacant and available for letting at the park; and four others totalling 50,000 sq. ft. are currently under construction and due for completion in February 1988.
