HC Deb 05 December 1963 vol 685 cc201-2W
13. Mr. W. T. Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what principles are followed in deciding whether or not to refer an application for a standard building grant to the Board of Trade Advisory Committee for scrutiny and approval.

Mr. Heath

The Board of Trade are required by the Local Employment Acts to consult the Advisory Committee before they may offer a building grant. They therefore refer to the Committee every eligible application.
