HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 c562W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will set out all those proposals for financcial assistance to industry which have been submitted by Her Majesty's Government to the EEC for approval within the last six months, indicating which have been approved, which rejected and which are still under consideration.

Mr. Cryer

Within the last six months my Department has notified the EEC Commission of the following industrial support measures which have subsequently been put into effect:

  • Product and Process Development Scheme
  • Drop Forging Industry Scheme
  • Additional funds for the Ferrous Foundry and Machine Tool Industry Schemes
  • Extension of the Wood Textile Scheme (II).

No proposals put forward by the Department of Industry during the period have been rejected. Discussions with the EEC Commission will continue to take place on measures as they arise.
