HC Deb 25 March 1970 vol 798 c452W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Technology how much has been paid annually in investment grants to industry analysed by each industrial group in each development area and in the remainder of the United Kingdom, respectively, since the investment grant system was introduced.

Mr. Varley

Information about the amount of investment grants paid in each of the financial years 1967–68 and 196869, analysed by industries and by each development area and the rest of Great Britain, is contained in the annual reports, copies of which are available in the Library.

I regret that the more detailed industrial analysis requested could not be provided except at disproportionate cost.
