HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 cc31-2W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many applications have been received from Wales for Euro- pean agricultural guidance and guarantee fund grants ; how many received money ; and how much money was received.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Since 1973 there have been 56 Welsh applications for guidance fund grants on individual capital projects. Thirty-three were successful and grants totalling £2,351,072 were awarded. Approximately £15.3 million has also been received as reimbursement on nationally-operated European Community guidance schemes. Payments in the guarantee sector are administered centrally by the intervention board for agricultural produce : there are no separate records for Wales.
