HL Deb 16 November 1971 vol 325 c646WA
LORD BARNBY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will state the total amount advanced by way of all subvention on buildings and equipment for the three Aluminium Companies (Smelters) recently located by direction in the United Kingdom.

LORD DRUMALBYN

No. Since only three companies are involved, it would not be appropriate, for reasons of commercial confidentiality, to publish details of investment grants or of assistance under the Local Employment Acts paid on these projects.
