AROUND 200 jobs could be created at a science park if a new lab and office space gets the green light.

A £10million expansion is planned for Elvingston Science Centre, near Haddington, in East Lothian.

It is owned by technology tycoon David Simpson, 82, who started the UK's first semiconductor factory and coined the phrase Silicon Glen.

The facility was launched 10 years ago and is home to hi-tech firms.
