§ 29. Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he hopes to make a statement on future Government help for International Computers Limited.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI have nothing to add at present to the answer given to the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Mr. Golding) on 17th April, when my right hon. Friend the Minister for Industrial Development said that an announcement would be made as soon as is practicable.—[Vol. 835, c. 25.]
§ Mr. DalyellWhy is the computer industry being kept waiting like this?
§ Mr. GrantI do not believe that the computer industry is necessarily being kept waiting unduly. This is an extremely complex matter and one which merits the most careful consideration by the Government, which is what it is receiving.
