§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Industry what proportion of the £766 million received by the aircraft industry between 1968–69 and 1972–73 by way of Government financing of innovation was expended in Scotland.
§ Mr. MeacherI regret that the information in the form requested is not available, but indications are that the amount of Government assistance is small since the only aerospace contractors in Scotland are Scottish Aviation and some Rolls-Royce factories which are not primarily engaged on research and development.
