HC Deb 15 November 1978 vol 958 cc221-2W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects to lay before Parliament proposals for expenditure to meet the cost of establishing the Cooperative Development Agency under the Co-operative Development Agency Act 1978.

Mr. Alan Williams

Parliamentary approval for this new service will be sought in the winter supplementary estimate for the general support to industry vote. Pending that approval, the necessary expenditure is being met by repayable advances from the contingencies fund.
