HC Deb 12 July 1968 vol 768 cc146-7W
Mr. Ridley

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many grants under the Industrial Development Act have been paid, and to how many more are the Government committed in respect of electricity generating plant.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The information is not readily available and to provide it would involve a disproportionate amount of time. I would, however, refer the hon. Member to the information relating to new power stations to be used by manufacturing companies given by my right hon. Friend in reply to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam (Mr. J. H. Osborn) on 19th February.— [Vol. 759, c.29.]
