Mr. Peter Morrison
The original budget estimates and provisional outturn figures for regional development grant and regional selective assistance in England, Scotland and Wales in the financial year 1985–86 are provided in table 1. Estimates of the annual spend on each of these schemes are not made in respect of regional areas in England. Provisional outturn figures by region for regional development grant in England are provided at table 2. Similar figures for regional selective assistance are not yet available, but I shall write to the hon. Gentleman with this information as soon as possible.
