HC Deb 22 May 1973 vol 857 cc45-6W
Mr. Peter Rees

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to whom payments have been made so far under the Industry Act; and, in each case, under which section or sections of the Act.

Mr. Chataway

It is present practice to disclose information about assistance given to individual firms under the Industry Act only with the consent of the firm concerned. I regret, therefore, that the provision of a detailed answer to my hon. and learned Friend's Question would require a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
