HC Deb 16 November 1967 vol 754 cc185-6W
69. Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Technology if he will so draft the legislation that grants under the Industrial Development Act will be set off against, or supplemented by, grants under the Industrial Expansion Bill.

Mr. Benn

My right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, made it clear in the debate on the Gracious Speech that all forms of finance already available to industry will be taken into account in deciding whether further Government assistance is necessary under the new legislation.
