The amount of State aid to industry provided by my Department for the year ended 31st March, 1968, was approximately £8,400,000. It would not be possible without a disproportionate amount of research to indicate the separate amounts for capital investment in private and public enterprises. The amount provided by way of subsidies was £150,000 and waived or unpaid charges on all enterprises amounted to £449,987.
