HC Deb 16 May 1963 vol 677 c175W
20. Mr. Short

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state the amounts provided by loan and grant for each job provided in development districts in the year ended 31st March, 1963, giving separate figures for the North-East.

D. Price

Mr. The amounts provided by loan and grant for projects in the development districts in Great Britain in the year ended 31st March, 1963, average £601 per job and for those in the North-East £674 per job. These amounts cannot be divided between loans and grants since in many cases both forms of assistance have been given to the same project.
