HC Deb 24 March 1981 vol 1 c289W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list the main measures of Government intervention in the economy and support for industry in each of the member States of the EEC, Japan and the United States of America, tabulating the amount of each country's gross domestic product expended on these schemes, comparing that with the amount expended on similar schemes in the United Kingdom.

Mr. MacGregor

Information is not available in the form requested. However, examples of the type of assistance given in member countries of OECD were cited in an annex to a report presented to the OECD Council in 1979 entitled "Inventory of the Adjustment Measures taken by Member Governments since 1974". A copy of this document is available in the Library.
