HC Deb 19 May 1986 vol 98 c44W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what sums have been made available from public funds to Harland and Wolff since June 1979, analysed under appropriate headings.

Dr. Boyson

The following table lists the financial assistance provided to Harland and Wolff from all Government sources in each of the financial years from May 1979 until March 1986.

Mr. Pattie

One hundred and seventy-five ITECs are currently in operation, of which 23 are situated in Scotland.

The majority of centres have received their full entitlement of Department of Trade and Industry pump-priming support of £75,000 payable over three years. My Department is continuing to support the programme, however, by funding a nationwide marketing organisation which will help ITECs with revenue generation.
