§ 20. Mr. MacKenzieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many small firms in Scotland, as defined by the Bolton committee, are currently having Government financial assistance withheld from them as a result of the Government's moratorium on regional development grants.
§ Mr. LangI regret that the information is not available in the form requested, since RDG I—that is old style RDG — payments are not categorised into small and large firms. As regards RDG II—that is new RDG—to date no payments have been affected by the recently announced two-month delay in payments.
