HC Deb 18 December 1975 vol 902 cc701-2W
18. Mr. Hooley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what further action is contemplated to increase investment in manufacturing industry.

Mr. Dell

Manufacturing investment is mainly a matter for decision by individual private firms. I hope that the measures my right hon. Friend announced yesterday will increase their confidence, and he is ready to allocate further funds to the schemes for selective assistance to industry if they can be used effectively.
