HC Deb 10 December 1980 vol 995 c367W
Mr. Adley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any plans to introduce a system of differential interest rates aimed at assisting industry such as is operated in other European Economic Community countries.

Mr. Lawson

No. For the reasons given in my reply to my hon. Friend on 13 November—[Vol. 991, c. 445–7] — I do not consider that this would be appropriate.
