HC Deb 28 November 1995 vol 267 cc578-9W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total amount of state aid(a) made available to and (b) promised to Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd. to locate in Lanarkshire. [338]

Mr. Kynoch

Details of the financial assistance offered to Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd. are commercially confidential.

The company is, however, eligible for support on exactly the same basis as any other commercial venture bringing investment and jobs to an assisted area. The greater part of the financial support package offered to the company comprised an offer of grant under the regional selective assistance scheme. In accordance with normal practice, brief details of the RSA offered to the company will be published in "Labour Market Trends" in the quarter after the first payment of grant is made. No payments have been made to date.
