HC Deb 05 February 1974 vol 868 c299W
Mr. Bray

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many applications he has received in the last 12 months from foreign-based manufacturers of behind-the-ear hearing aids to establish a factory, grant-aided or otherwise, in an assisted area for the manufacture of this equipment; and what were the results of such applications.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Two. One is now established in a factory in an assisted area. The other expects to be shortly.
