HC Deb 07 June 1989 vol 154 cc181-2W
34. Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any plans to make regional policy for Scotland more effective.

The Government already have an effective regional policy. Provision for regional assistance in Scotland this year is approximately £120 million and we do not expect any underspend. This level of provision is broadly maintained for the following three years.
