Industry (Government Support)

Proceeding contribution from Ian Mearns (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 June 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Industry (Government Support).
The Secretary of State mentioned the due diligence being conducted on particular projects. The Prime Minister has referred to Lord Mandelson going round the country with a massive cheque book, handing out hundreds of millions of pounds, two thirds of which he said went into Labour marginal constituencies. Will the due diligence also involve taking a close look at where that money is being spent, particularly where those Labour marginal seats are now held by members of the coalition parties?
