HC Deb 26 July 1985 vol 83 c857W
Mr. Rowe

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the most recent estimates of the cost per job created by (a) the enterprise allowance scheme, (b) the loan guarantee scheme, (c) the business expansion scheme and (d) regional development grants.

Mr. Peter Rees

The schemes have very different purposes and different means of operation. Estimates of the cost per job of the different schemes are therefore not directly comparable.
