HC Deb 13 November 1978 vol 958 c51W
Mr. Clegg

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will make grants to the English regions, pro rata, similar to the grants to Scottish and Welsh Development Agencies.

Mr. Cryer

Expenditure on regional development grants and regional selective assistance depends upon the number of eligible applications together with the rates of assistance in force in the assisted areas concerned. There is no predetermined allocation of funds to individual assisted areas.
