HC Deb 16 December 1975 vol 902 cc611-2W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will introduce legislation to ensure that companies which receive grants by virtue of having manufacturing plant located in development areas, reflect the benefits of those grants in the pricing structure of the products made in the development areas and not treated as miscellaneous income for the general benefit of the company.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

No. The purpose of regional development grants is to act as an incentive to new investment in the assisted areas.
