HC Deb 19 February 1968 vol 759 c30W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the investment grants paid in England, Scotland and Wales, respectively, in 1965–66 and 1966–67; and what estimate he has made of the amounts for the current financial year.

Mr. Darling:

Payments began on 1st April 1967. The amounts paid in England, Scotland and Wales during the calendar year 1967 were respectively:£160.7 million,£29.8 million, and£16 million. The total estimate for the financial year 1967–68 is£315 million. This is not broken down geographically, but I would expect that the final out-turn would correspond broadly with the pattern of payments to the end of the calendar year 1967.
