HC Deb 31 January 1989 vol 146 c201W
Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will direct the London Docklands Development Corporation to take steps to ensure that the shops to open in the spring at Tobacco dock employ local labour.

Mr. Trippier

No, but I understand that the operators have recruited locally and are actively encouraging shop tenants to do so.
