HC Deb 30 April 1969 vol 782 cc244-5W
85. Mr. John Lee

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total value of all Government aid to private industry disbursed since October, 1964; and what was the value of such aid for the period July, 1945, to December, 1949, making due allowance for the reduction in the purchasing power of the pound.

Mr. Diamond

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend, the Member for Liverpool, West Derby (Mr. Ogden) on 4th March, 1969. Figures for the period July, 1945, to December, 1949, are not available.—[Vol. 779, c. 63–64.]
