§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Industry, pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Workington on 18 April, Official Report, c. 10, whether he will list in the Official Report the number of recipients of the £100 million in regional assistance, supporting £600 million of investment, allocated to West Cumbria since 1979, the amount of assistance allocated to each recipient and value of each investment so supported.
§ Mr. MacGregorDetails of individual payments of regional development grant of £25,000 or more and of offers of selective financial assistance of £5,000 or more are published quarterly inBritish Business. In West Cumbria, published payments of regional development grant were made to 207 applicants between 1 April 1979 and 31 March 1983; 16 published offers of selective financial assistance were made between 1 April 1979 and 28 February 1983. The amount of work required to identify and record the amount of assistance given to each recipient and the value of each investment so supported is very large and the information could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
