Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will provide a full list of the discretionary powers which he possesses.

Mr. Mason

I presume my hon. Friend is referring to discretionary powers in support of the Government's pay policy, and would refer him to my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury's answer to the hon. Member for Kingston upon Thames (Mr. Lamont) of 24th November 1977.—[Vol. 939, c.854.]—In the particular case of Northern Ireland the equivalent legislation to the Industry Acts is the Industries Development Acts (Northern Ireland) 1966 and 1971 as amended by the Industries Development Order (Northern Ireland) 1976, and the Industrial Investment (General Assistance) (Northern Ireland) Acts 1966 and 1971 as amended by the Industries Development Order (Northern Ireland) 1976.
