Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if the amount of Government financial assistance given to the Monitor American Meats Company, enabling this company to establish

a plant in the Province, will be published in the appropriate section of annual Government expenditure; and, if so, why he will not disclose the sum now.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The total amount of assistance provided by the Department of Commerce to industry is included under Class 11 of the Northern Ireland Appropriation Accounts, but details of assistance to individual companies are not published.

Details of investments by the Northern Ireland Development Agency are provided in their annual reports.
