HC Deb 17 July 1997 vol 298 c317W
Dr. Starkey

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the controls on the levels of selective financial assistance that can be made available to tradeable services projects in Northern Ireland. [9805]

Mr. Ingram

The controls are the same as for manufacturing projects, except that the ceiling on percentage contribution does not apply. This change allows for the different financial profile of tradable services projects which normally do not involve the substantial expenditure on capital items that is typical of manufacturing projects.
