HC Deb 31 July 1975 vol 896 c633W
Mr. Urwin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will ensure that there will be no diminution in governmental capital aid to British industry as an offset to financial resources being made available from various European Economic Community funds.

Mr. Joel Barnett

Decisions on the appropriate levels of governmental capital aid to British industry have been and will be taken on the basis of what is needed to achieve the Government's industrial objectives. The availability of financial resources from various European Economic Community funds is one of the factors to be taken into account in determining levels of aid.
