HC Deb 17 April 1973 vol 855 cc79-80W
Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much public money was expended in each of the last three years in Northern Ireland to encourage the movement of industry.

Mr. Peter Mills

The main form of direct encouragement for the movement of industry has been provided by grants, made under the Industries Development Acts (Northern Ireland) 1966 and 1971, towards the removal of machinery, equipment and key workers. The amounts expended in the last three years for these purposes were as follows:

1970–71 £86,000
1971–72 £143,000
1972–73 £426,000
