Abstract

In the post‐1945 period, successive Governments have provided a considerable amount of aid to industry in various forms and under various Acts of Parliament. Governments have tried to alleviate unemployment in the regions by providing assistance to manufacturing firms under the Local Employment Acts. Under the recently passed Industry Act, the Minister for Industry has been empowered to disburse large sums of money to firms not only in the manufacturing industry but also in the job‐creating service industry. When new jobs are created, there is a saving of unemployment benefits to the Exchequer and the earnings of the newly‐employed provide a stimulus to the growth of the local and regional economies and thus benefit the community.
