§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Industry how much money was advanced to industrial co-operatives from February 1974 to 3 May 1979.
§ Mr. David MitchellOur records are based upon company names and do not distinguish between co-operatives and other organisations. The information is therefore not available in the form requested. Under the Industrial Common Ownership Act 1976, grants made to the organisation Industrial Common Ownership Finance Ltd. enabled it to make loans totalling £53,500 to eight co-operatives.
§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list those bodies which have received a certificate under section 2(2) of the Industrial Common Ownership Act 1976; and which bodies have received certificates since 3 May.
