Abstract
On the basis of cross-sectional data of plants relocating and being newly established in the United Kingdom in the period 1960 to 1965, an analysis is undertaken which relates the movement of manufacturing plants to a number of characteristics of each source industry. Of these characteristics, growth in employment, the average size of plant, transport costs and the percentage of females employed in the labour force are the factors found to predominate in the explanation of relative rates of movement.
