Mr. Leighton
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many jobs there were in docklands in the London borough of Newham at the inception of the London Docklands Development Corporation; and how many there are now.
Mr. John Patten
The 1981 census of employment revealed that there were 12,400 jobs in the docklands area of the London borough of Newham. The LDDC's latest survey shows that in February 1985 the number of jobs in the same area was 9,746. Of these, 3,200 have been created since 1981.
