HC Deb 01 February 1990 vol 166 c338W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will provide an estimate of European Community structural funds available to Northern Ireland for 1990–91.

Mr. Cope

The scale and likely timing of structural funds assistance to Northern Ireland is set out in the Community support framework document, recently agreed with the Commission. This forecasts that for the EC budgetary year 1990—the nearest analogue to our own 1990–91 financial year—Northern Ireland's structural funds commitment will amount to 160 million ecu (about £110 million at today's exchange rate).
