HC Deb 05 August 1971 vol 822 cc454-5W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now give full grants in the special development areas to companies who wish to expand; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The full range of normal development area assistance is available for companies which expand and provide employment in the special development areas, but the special incentives, including operational grants, were specifically designed for new incoming industry.
