Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what was the amount per head of population of regional employment premium paid to foster manufacturing industry in Wales in 1967; and what was the figure per head of population for England.

Mr. Alan Williams

The figures per head of the population were 8s. 3d. in Wales and 1s. 11d. in England for 1967. The first payments were made in October 1967. In a full year it is estimated that the figures per head of population would be £4 8s. 8d. in Wales and £1 0s. 10d. in England.
