HC Deb 04 April 1979 vol 965 cc834-46W
Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the total expenditure of central Government on investment and assistance to industry in the North-West of England and the percentage of national expenditure on such investment and assistance which this figure represented in the financial year 1978–79; and what were the equivalent figures for the year 1973–74 updated to current prices.

Mr. Alan Williams

Not all of my Department's expenditure is analysed by region and the figures requested for 1978–79 are not yet available. Expenditure by my Department in the North-West region of England in 1973–74 on regional development grants, the provision of land and buildings, selective assistance to industry in Assisted Areas, expenditure under now repealed sections of the Local Employment Act 1972, selective assistance to individual industries, firms and undertakings, assistance to the Shipbuilding industry and the support services amounted to £32.3 million in actual outturn prices equivalent to £70.7 million in 1977–78 outturn prices. My Department is not responsible for all national expenditure on these items, but in relation to what is spent by my Department, which is largely national in coverage, the percentage is 13.8 for 1973–74.

Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list investment projects in the North-West region since 1974 which have received selective assistance.

Mr. Alan Williams

Lists of individual firms receiving selective assistance are published quarterly inTrade and Industry in accordance with arrangements announced in the House on 31 July 1974 by my right hon. Friend the then Secretary of State. The lists exclude cases where assistance is below the prescribed minima and cases where no payment has so far been made.

A list of the kind requested relating to offers under section 8 of the Industry Act 1972 to projects in the North-West region was given on 15 March 1979 in answer to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Nelson and Colne [Official Report, Vol. 964, c. 274–6]. The corresponding list relating to offers made under section 7 is given below.

Total assistance offered for projects in the North-West region under section 7 and 8 (including that for which no information has been published) for the period 1 March 1974 to 31 January 1979 is:
