HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 cc23-4W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the names of incoming firms developing in Dundee in the past year; and how many jobs have been created.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Comprehensive information is not available. Since mid-1980, however, four offers of selective financial assistance under section 7 of the Industry Act 1972, associated with 296 new jobs, have been made to manufacturing firms new to the area. Details of offers of selective financial assistance of £5,000 or more are published in British Business after the first payment has been made to the company.
