Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish a list of those high technology companies, by sector, in Scotland which have received regional development grants since 1979 and those high technology companies which have received other forms of regional assistance.
Mr. TrippierRecords of payments of regional assistance do not identify high technology companies as a separate category and the information requested is therefore not available, although details of individual payments of regional development grant of £25,000 or more and of offers of selective financial assistance of £5,000 or more are published quarterly inBritish Business.
