asked the Minister for Industry, Trade, Commerce and Tourism the amounts of money allocated to the IDA for payments of capital grants in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984; and if he will give a monthly breakdown of the amounts actually paid by the IDA in the form of capital grants for each of the years in question.
Written Answers. - IDA Capital Grants.
437.
The grant-in-aid to the Industrial Development Authority for the payment of capital grants for each of the years 1980 to 1984 was as follows:
Year |
£m |
1980 |
98.00 |
1981 |
128.95 |
1982 |
134.00 |
1983 |
121.63 |
1984 |
123.50 |
I am informed that a monthly breakdown of capital grant payments by IDA is not readily available. However, I am asking the IDA to have this information compiled and I will communicate with the Deputy at a later date on this matter.
