HC Deb 22 January 1968 vol 757 cc37-8W
Mr. G. Campbell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion he estimates of the £80 million of postponed payments of investment grants, announced on 16th January, will fall in Scotland.

Mr. Darling

As I said in the reply I gave on 18th January to the hon. Member for South Angus (Mr. Bruce-Gardyne), I estimate that industry in Scotland will receive about £10 million less in 1968–69 than it would have received had there been further acceleration. Even so, I expect the amount paid to industry in Scotland in 1968–69 to be greater than the amount paid in 1967–68.—[Vol. 756, c.661.]
