• Hauliers with expanding business may be able to benefit from improved removal grants announced for service industry projects outside SE England by Mr Christopher Chataway, Minister for Industrial Development, on Wednesday.

To qualify firms must establish a choice of location between assisted areas — virtually the rest of the UK apart from the Midlands and Southern England — and elsewhere in the UK, and create at least 10 new jobs.

The grants comprise £800 for each employee moved with his work and a selective grant to cover the cost of the approved rents at the new location. These last for up to three years in the intermediate areas (where unemployment is less severe) — around Edinburgh, north of the Midlands, parts of N and S Wales and part of the West Country — and up to five years in the development areas — Scotland. Wales, Cornwall and North Devon, Merseyside and the North of England.

The number of employees in respect of whom the grant of £800 is paid will not normally exceed 50 per cent of the number of additional jobs created in the assisted areas.

The terms of the rent relief grant will take into account the benefit to employment in the assisted areas.
