HC Deb 31 July 1972 vol 842 c9W
54 Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in respect of which of the schemes of grants or other forms of subsidyhe administers is the subsidy discretionary, yet the unsuccessful applicant not entitled to a statement of the grounds on which his application was unsuccessful.

Mr. Anthony Grant

In no scheme does the statute provide such an entitlement but the Department tries to help applicants where possible. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind, I will look into it if he sends me the details.
