To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many of the jobs associated with the regional development grant applications currently being considered by his Department are new jobs; and how many are safeguarded jobs.
Mr. Peter Walker
I am pleased to confirm that all the jobs involved in the 1,935 applications being processed from the beginning of this month are new jobs for I am sure that the right hon. Gentleman must be aware that regional development grants take account only of new jobs created directly in the activities to which the project relates.
