§ Mr. Kinnockasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will, for the purposes of financial aid, treat the building and equipping of meals-on-wheels kitchens by local authorities as food preparation factories rather than retailing kitchens and consequently make grant aid available.
§ Mr. Les Huckfield,pursuant to his reply Official Report, 27 March 1979; Vol. 965, c. 129–30], gave the following information:
Regional development grant would not be payable in the circumstances specified as local authorities are not eligible for grant other than in their capacity as landlords or developers when they provide buildings for occupation by others.
