§ Sir Teddy TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his Department's policy to obtain in consolidated form an annual breakdown from the European Commission of programmes operating in the United Kingdom for the promotion of(a) the European Union and (b) economic and monetary union. [37094]
§ Mr. Doug HendersonThe Commission provides information on the single market, the Amsterdam Treaty and the single currency under the EU's PRINCE programme. We already receive breakdowns of spending under this programme. The Commission also produces a range of information material on other EU policies and helps fund a variety of information outlets, including the EUROPA internet site, in order to respond to requests for information from the public and from specific groups such as schools or SMEs. No breakdown of this spending by Member State is available.
