HC Deb 15 July 1971 vol 821 cc156-7W
Mr. Trew

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the total sum of money to which the Government are committed in respect of hotel development grants under the hotel development incentive scheme ; what is the number of projects involved ; and what is the breakdown by regions.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Although only projects started before 31st March, 1971, are eligible applications to the tourist boards may be made up to 31st March, 1973. The final commitment is, therefore, not known at this stage. Full information about the position as at 31st March, 1971, will, however, be given in the annual reports of the boards for the year 1970–71. These reports will be laid before Parliament.
