§ Mr. Hall-Davisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will review his proposals announced in June for grants for the relocation of those employed in service industries and occupations, so as to relate them to the number of job opportunities transferred instead of to the number of employees moving to the new location.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantA contribution towards the costs of moving staff helps the assisted areas to secure a good share of top-quality service jobs. These jobs are likely to be filled in time from within the assisted areas. Moreover, the total number of job opportunities created by a 13W move is fully taken into account through the rent relief grant which is paid in respect of the accommodation required for all the jobs created by the move.
