HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 cc43-4W
18. Sir A. Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the total value of the claims put in by his Department to the EEC and ECSC for grants and loans for industrial development in the latest period of six months for which figures are available.

Mr. Meacher

Only applications for reconversion loans from the ECSC under Article 56 of the Treaty of Paris require the support of my Department. Over the six months ending 31st March applications to the value of £22.1 million, in part representing reapplications, were forwarded to the Commission.
