HC Deb 23 October 1972 vol 843 c176W
55. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State of Trade and Industry what are the amounts of financial asssistance his Department has given over each of the past four years in order to create more jobs in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Figures of expenditure are not available on a regional basis. Offers of building grants in the region under the Local Employment Act amounted to £14,800 in 1969–70; £1.8 million in 1970–71; £2 million in 1971–72, and £1 million in the six months up to 30th September of this year. No payments had by that date been made or offered by the Industry Act.
