§ Mr. Lawsonasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will place in the Library a copy of the document NEDC (75) 67, which is referred to in paragraph 23, line 7, of the paper entitled "An Approach to Industrial Strategy", which was deposited in the Library on 5th November 1975.
§ Mr. Kaufman,pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 19th December 1975; Vol. 902, Part II, c. 894], gave the following information:
I have now placed in the Library and in the Vote Office a note on the "Criteria for Assistance to Industry". This document represents the Government's views following discussion with NEDC and the statutory advisory boards concerned with selective financial assistance, on the basis of the confidential discussion document NEDC (75) 67 mentioned in the paper "An Approach to Industrial 8W Strategy". It would not be appropriate to disclose the confidential documents preceding the Government's approval of these criteria.
