HC Deb 12 February 1963 vol 671 c160W
100. Mr. Small

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the estimated expenditure in 1961–62 on the promotion of trade, exports and industrial efficiency was underspent by the sum of £2,924,122.

Mr. Green

There was underspending on cotton re-equipment grants of £2,234,693 and on cotton compensation payments of £624,920; these two items account for some 98 per cent. of the total sum underspent.
