HC Deb 16 April 1969 vol 781 cc255-6W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give a breakdown of the estimated total cost to public funds of £176,000 per job created at Grampian Chemicals' petrochemical project at Invergordon, as between investment grant, the Board of Trade Advisory Committee grant and loan, and other assistance from public funds.

Mr. Dell

Investment grant would be available under the normal rules on plant and machinery; and any application for grant or loan assistance under the Local Employment Acts would be considered against the normal criteria. It is not, however, our practice to reveal details of assistance to individual firms.
