HC Deb 28 February 1980 vol 979 c666W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what loans or grants Platt Saco Lovell has received in each of the last five years under industrial aid schemes; which schemes were involved in each case and what sum per year under each scheme; and what information he has about how the money was spent in each case.

Mr. David Mitchell

Offers totalling £2,941,809 were made to this company in 1978 under the textile machinery industry scheme, to assist the company to restructure its manufacturing facilities in Lancashire. I regret that it is not the practice to publish additional information in individual cases for reasons of commercial confidentiality.
