HC Deb 26 October 1987 vol 121 c151W
Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is able to estimate the number of full-time jobs, or full-time equivalents, created by the Inverclyde initiative: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

It is not possible to estimate the number of jobs created directly by the Inverclyde initiative. I am satisfied that the initiative is making sound progress and that major projects in prospect, such as the Customs House quay development, will significantly increase employment prospects in the area.
