HC Deb 17 April 1972 vol 835 c2W
37. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will include in his proposals for grant aid to the regions as set out in the White Paper special 95 per cent. grants for research and development projects carried out by private and nationalised industry.

Mr. Chataway

No. But I am considering the extent to which assets used in R. and D. establishments in the assisted areas will be eligible for regional development grant.
