Mr. Robert Taylor
asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether the subsidy by the former Ministry of Technology, amounting to 55 per cent. of subsidy earning income, to the Furniture Industry Research Association is a regular annual commitment; and what is the first date upon which the principle of the subsidy can be reviewed.
Sir J. Eden
No. The terms of grants of this kind made by the Department are subject to regular reviews. The current grant to the Furniture Industry Research Association comes to an end on 31st December, 1970 and proposals for the future are under study.
