55. Mr. Probert

asked the President of the Board of Trade how much public money was provided for industry in Wales in 1967 and 1968, respectively, for the inducement of industry into Wales.

Mr. Dell

Payments by the Board of Trade under the Local Employment Acts and the Industrial Development Act, 1966 in Wales amounted to £30.5 million in 1967–68 and £50 million approximately in 1968–69. Under these Acts payments may be made both to new industry and to industry already established there.
