§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the extent to which the Urban II initiative bid for Wales will be affected by the European Commission's rejection of the United Kingdom's overall submission. [143164]
§ Mr. Paul MurphyThe Commission has not rejected the United Kingdom's proposals. Discussions are continuing about the total number of programmes which can proceed. However, I am confident that this will not affect the position of the West Wrexham bid.
