HC Deb 10 July 1974 vol 876 c1357
Mr. Blaker

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The Under-Secretary of State for Employment answered a Question from me yesterday about the amount allocated to the United Kingdom in the year 1973 by the European Social Fund. The figure he gave in that answer conflicted with the figure that had been given in an earlier answer. I wonder whether it would be suitable for the hon. Gentleman to put the record straight.

The Under-Secretary of State for Employment (Mr. John Fraser)

The figure I gave, of £19.8 million, was the figure for Great Britain. I may have given the impression that it was the United Kingdom figure. The figure for the United Kingdom is £4 million greater, in respect of Northern Ireland allocations.
