HL Deb 28 January 1976 vol 367 c1096WA
Lord O'HAGAN

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What percentage of each allocation of EEC Agricultural Grants has gone to each of the eleven "regions" of the United Kingdom.

Lord STRABOLGI

The distribution of capital grants from Community funds (EAGGF) for individual projects in the United Kingdom in the Commission's programme for 1973 and 1974 was:

Region 1973 1974
% %
Northern 1 15
North-West 1 5
Yorkshire and Humberside 12 26
East Midlands 4 4
West Midlands 20 1
South-West 1 1
East Anglia 4 4
South-East 1 1
Wales 12 5
Scotland 23 19
Northern Ireland 21 19

These figures are approximate, since certain projects extend to more than one region. The Commission's programme for 1975 has not yet been completed.

House adjourned at seventeen minutes before twelve o'clock.
