Mr. Hickmet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many companies have received benefits or are eligible to receive benefits from the three enterprise zones in the Glanford and Scunthorpe parliamentary constituency and at what present cost and projected cost to the Exchequer.

Sir George Young

There were 11 businesses in the enterprise zones in Glanford and Scunthorpe at September 1984, the date of the most recently published survey of enterprise zones. The cost to the Exchequer of rates exemptions for these zones from designation to the end of the financial year 1985–86 was £1,034,519. The projected cost of this exemption for 1986–87 is 1.7 million.
