Mr. Gwynfor Evans
asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many new industrial jobs he estimates will arise in the Cardiff area between the present and 1980; and what provisions have been made for alternative employment to offset the loss of 4,600 job opportunities at East Moors Steelworks, Cardiff.
Mr. John Morris
Approximately 1,600 manufacturing jobs are at present expected to arise in the Cardiff area by 1981. Local authorities, the Welsh Development Agency, Government Departments and other agencies are continuing their efforts to provide additional employment in the area.
