HC Deb 18 July 1977 vol 935 cc320-1W
25. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what funds have been committed by the National Enterprise Board to industrial enterprises concerned with sea bed engineering or subsea systems, excluding oil related enterprises.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The NEB has invested £50,000 in R. R. Chapman (Sub Sea Surveys) Ltd. I understand that the underwater craft operated by this company have been designed primarily for offshore oil industry applications but have other possible uses, such as underwater surveying and navigation.
