Dr. Godman
asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much financial assistance was given to brewing and distilling companies under the various industry Acts in England, Wales and Scotland, respectively, in each of the past five years.
Mr. Giles Shaw
[pursitant to his reply, 5 February 1987]: The only readily available figures relate to selective assistance for the five years to April 1986 and to regional development grants since the scheme was revised in November 1984. For projects under SIC headings 4240 and 4270 payments are as follows:
| Selective assistance | England | Scotland | Wales |
| 1981–82 | 47,370 | 424,083 | 84,450 |
| 1982–83 | 134,039 | 355,187 | 424,083 |
| 1983–84 | 121,200 | 86,250 | 16,500 |
| 1984–85 | 312,057 | 39,000 | 16,500 |
| 1 1985–86 | 214,220 | 12,136 | 6,000 |
| 1 1985–86 includes payments under the new RDG scheme. It is not possible to break down RDG payments by SIC headings for previous years, and these are not included. | |||
