Eleven industrial undertakings came to my notice as having closed during the past six months and the total number of employees involved was about 610. Grants had been paid in seven out of the 11 cases and the total amount of these grants was £373,785. As regards one of the larger of these undertakings, I would refer the Deputy to the answer given to Questions Nos. 22 and 23 on the Order Paper on 10th March, 1971.
