§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Prime Minister if he will take steps to ensure that all Government Departments give maximum publicity to the availability of financial assistance from EEC institutions to local authorities and voluntary organisations.
§ The Prime MinisterIt is already the practice of Government Departments to supply information about the availability of financial assistance from EEC institutions as and when appropriate to those directly concerned. In view of the limitations on the assistance that may be granted under EEC regulations, I do not consider that wider publicity to local authorities or others would serve any useful purpose.
