HC Deb 10 March 1965 vol 708 c114W
Mr. Pounder

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the 50 per cent. Government grant for export market research is available only to chambers of commerce and member associations, or whether any grant will be made available to individual exporters; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redhead

The British National Export Council who administer the scheme for supporting market research will not make grants direct to individual companies. Individual companies will be able to co-operate in projects organised by trade associations or chambers of commerce on behalf of their members.
