HC Deb 31 January 1973 vol 849 cc379-80W
Mr. McGuire

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total amount of Government grants which the Scottish Development Association has received since the scheme started, up to the end of 1972; and what is the amount proposed for 1973.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

As I told the hon. Member for Sunderland, South (Mr. Bagier) on 21st November, I make a grant to the Scottish Council specifically to assist its campaign for the attraction of industrial investment from Europe. The grant in 1971–72 was £70,000; and for 1972–73 and 1973–74 the grant offered is £100,000 per annum, subject to agreed arrangements for matching funds being satisfied.—[Vol. 846, c. 389–90.]
