HC Deb 28 October 1980 vol 991 c217W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the regional aid per capita in the financial year 1979–80 for Northern Ireland.

Mr. Giles Shaw

£75.

This figure includes expenditure on capital grants, selective financial assistance and assistance provided through the local enterprise development unit and the Northern Ireland Development Agency. Northern Ireland has a seperate system of regional incentives and the above figure is therefore not strictly comparable with figures provided for the rest of the United Kingdom.
