asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now give the details of estimates of jobs expected to arise in existing premises and in non-manufacturing employment in each of the Scottish special development areas within the next four years in authorised new industrial buildings and in existing buildings taken over by manufacturing firms.
The service and distributive industries are not subject to the I.D.C. control and I regret therefore that no figures are available for jobs in prospect for these fast growing sectors of the economy. The following table gives the figures for jobs at present expected by the applicant firms to arise in each of the Scottish special development areas in the next four years in authorised new industrial buildings and in existing buildings taken over by manufacturing firms.
