Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the maximum allocation allowable to the United Kingdom from the EEC Regional Development Fund.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

About £150 million for 1975–77.

Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how many firms have applied for assistance from the Regional Development Fund; and what is the total amount involved.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

Applications are submitted by Governments. We have put in applications totalling rather more than our 1975 quota.
