I am advised that these companies, which provide engineering products and design, at present provide employment for 71 people, three persons being employed in each of two companies and the balance in the third.
The total amount of grants approved for the companies by agencies under my aegis is £4,555 of which £3,032 has been paid.
No contracts have been placed with the companies by my Department or agencies for which I am answerable.
