HC Deb 31 January 1983 vol 36 c9W
Mr. Leighton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if, in view of its recently announced intention of concentrating its operations in the United States of America, he is satisfied that public funds provided to Inmos are being used in accordance with the basis on which they were approved.

Mr. Butcher

Yes. This is a matter for the British Technology Group but I understand that the recent reports in the press were misleading. Progress is being made towards building up the INMOS factory at Newport, and in transferring this important technology to the United Kingdom.
