HC Deb 07 February 1972 vol 830 c235W
36. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he is taking to encourage additional employment in existing premises and in non-manufacturing industry in the North-East Development Area.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Under the Local Employment Acts firms can receive loans to help expand employment in existing premises and building grants for extending or adapting premises. In the service sector, this assistance is available only for projects which bring substantial additional employment into the area.
