HC Deb 02 February 1994 vol 236 c769W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how much central Government money was spent on developing and supporting(a) manufacturing industries and (b) businesses in general in Cornwall in each year since 1979.

Mr. Sainsbury

It is not possible to provide a fully comprehensive answer without a disproportionate cost. The figures account for moneys paid to Cornish Enterprises under the regional development grant II, regional selective assistance and regional enterprise grant schemes, which have been the major source of grant over the period in question.
