HC Deb 24 May 1979 vol 967 c177W
18. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is his latest estimate of the cost to public funds of each permanent job to be created by the De Lorean car plant.

Mr. Giles Shaw

On the assumption that 2,000 permanent jobs will be created, it is estimated that Government grants and loans will total £17,593 per job. The net cost will be reduced by the payment of royalties to the Government by the company on each car sold.
