§ Mr. Canavanasked the Secretary of State for Industry how much financial aid his Department has given over the past five years to Cruikshank and Co. Ltd., Iron Foundries, Denny, Stirlingshire.
§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieI have been asked to reply.
For reasons of commercial confidentiality it is not the practice to disclose information of this kind until the first quarter after a first payment is made. Details are then given in the publication "Trade and Industry" if, in the case of offers of assistance under Section 7 or 8 of the Industry Act, the amount paid exceeds £10,000, or £25,000 in the case of regional development grant. To date no such payments to this company have been published.
