HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 cc368-9W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if it is his Department's policy to pay removal grants to firms moving from inner city partnership areas to assisted areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cryer

Grants may be made to firms moving into the assisted areas from outside locations, including inner city partnerships areas.

The availability of regional incentives including removal grants reflects the priority given to the assisted areas by successive Governments.
