HC Deb 27 July 1984 vol 64 cc835-6W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give the value of assistance and refinancing to the shipbuilding industry in 1979 and at the latest available date, by shipyard, company and region.

Mr. Butcher

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave her on 20 July for details of total assistance for shipbuilding in 1979–80 and 1983–84. A detailed breakdown of these figures by shipyard, company and region is not readily available and its provision would involve disproportionate cost.
