§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to what extent, on Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community under the present rules and regulations, he will be able to control movement of capital equipment on which grant has been paid at development area rates to locations outside development areas; and how this will operate so far as firms and companies established from countries of the other nine of the enlarged Community will be concerned.
§ Mr. ChatawayI understand that there is nothing in EEC's rules to prevent us attaching conditions to such grants requiring repayment if the assets concerned leave the development area within a certain period, or to prevent us applying such conditions to recipients of any nationality.
