HC Deb 15 November 1973 vol 864 cc256-7W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the firms with parent companies in the Common Market which have invested or which have agreed to invest in the United Kingdom since 1st January 1973 and which have received or have been promised grants from public funds, showing the location or proposed location of such investment.

Mr. Anthony Grant

It is my Department's normal practice at present not to divulge the identity of individual firms receiving financial assistance under the Industry Act 1972. As for the first part of the Question, I am unable to add to earlier replies, but I am writing to my hon. Friend.
