§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much Wales received from the European social fund in each year since 1988; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodThe information for the period from 1990 is set out in the table.
ESF for Wales 1990–93 £ 1990 10,094,700 1991 28,503,500 1992 29,064,600 1993 51,792,500 Notes:
1. Before 1990 all applications were handled directly by the European Commission and information is not held centrally in the United Kingdom.
2. The amount shown for 1993 represents the amount of ESF committed as final claims have not yet been received. For all other years the figures show the amounts claimed.
3. No reliable information is available for objectives 3, 4 and 6 in 1990 so the figure for that year covers objectives 2 and 5b only.
4. The objective 3 and 4 money received by Central Government for programmes in Wales for 1991 and 1992 is calculated as a percentage of the national figure.
