§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what redress is available to the United Kingdom if the appropriate European Economic Community committees do not approve sufficient projects in time to enable 80 per cent., of the rebates due in respect of 1980 to be paid by April 1981; and if he will make a statement.
