HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 cc374-5W
56. Mr. Longden

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will seek to amend Section 1 of the Industrial Development Act, 1966, so as to enable him to make investment grants to firms who incur capital expenditure in providing new plant or machinery for use in a qualifying industrial process when that process is carried out on the firms' behalf by sub-contractors.

Mr. Dell

No. I am not satisfied that such a radical amendment to the Industrial Development Act would be justified.
