HC Deb 01 April 1998 vol 309 c553W
Mr. Alan Campbell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the inward investment projects located in intermediate status areas for which his Department permitted the higher development area job subsidy limit to apply between April 1992 and 1 May 1997 and the dates on which the permission was given.

Mrs. Liddell

Between April 1992 and 1 May 1997, the Treasury approved two offers of Regional Selective Assistance for inward investment into an intermediate status area where the cost per job ceiling for intermediate status areas was exceeded. These were for an investment in South Wales by LG, and an investment in the West Midlands by Rover Group Ltd. Treasury approval was given for both in 1996.
