HC Deb 09 February 1967 vol 740 cc357-8W
62. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what action he takes to ensure that the industries provided with Government grants, or in which the Government takes a financial interest, are those which will best serve the economic wellbeing of the country.

Mr. Diamond

Government loans and grants to industry are only made after a detailed examination of all the economic and social factors involved.
