HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c154W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects the £40 million loan to International Computers Ltd. to be repaid to Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The £40 million development aid paid to ICL Ltd. between 1972 and 1976 was not a loan. The agreement under which the aid was given was negotiated by the then Conservative Government.
