HC Deb 15 July 1936 vol 314 cc2055-6W
Mr. DAVID ADAMS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what applications have been received for loans for new light industries or for extensions of existing industries in the special areas?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

I am informed that many of the applications received by the company, which at present total 112, are not of a very defined character; but broadly it may be said that about 50 per cent. of the applications are in respect of new light industries and about 20 per cent. in respect of the extension of existing businesses.
