HC Deb 07 March 1966 vol 725 cc443-4W
Mr. David Steel

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that some firms in the new development areas not previously development districts are unable to proceed with capital investment plans as he has not yet announced whether firms starting work between 17th January, 1966, and the passing of legislation foreshadowed in paragraph 51 of Command Paper No. 2874, Investment Incentives, will receive grants; and if he will now announce his decision.

Mr. Jay

I have nothing to add to the Answer given by my hon. Friend to the hon. Member for Moray and Nairn (Mr. G. Campbell) on 17th February, 1966.
