HC Deb 18 March 1980 vol 981 c130W
Mr. Butcher

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he proposes any additional assistance in support of the United Kingdom telematics industry.

Mr. Michael Marshall

Not at this time.

A number of financial assistance schemes are already available and being extensively used to encourage industrial investment in high technology areas such as telematics. Furthermore, through their general economic policies the Government are creating the climate in which companies will be encouraged to invest in these areas.
