§ Mr. MacKenzieasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish in the Official Report the total amounts offered under the regional grant schemes at 1984 prices to companies in Scotland for each of the past 10 years.

§ Mr. MacKenzieasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish in the Official Report the total amounts offered under the regional grants schemes, at 1984 prices, to companies in the Rutherglen constituency, for each of the last 10 years.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonI regret the information is not available for all regional and industrial grants because it would be too costly to transfer the historic records to the computer data base. For the same reason a manual search to match addresses is also ruled out. However, the new regional development grants are being recorded and regional selective assistance (RSA) under section 7 of the Industrial Development Act is available for past years. The details for RSA in the Glasgow, Rutherglen constituency are as set out at 1984 prices.
Value of offers (1984 prices) £000 1975–76 20 1976–77 3,459 1977–78 23 1978–79 292 1979–80 21 1980–81 132 1981–82 1,236 1982–83 583 1983–84 77 1984–85 2,285
