EU Structural Funding (Hansard, 28 November 2002)

HC Deb 28 November 2002 vol 395 c404W 404W

§ Mr. Pound
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much EU structural funding was returned to the Commission, by(a) region and (b) organisational sector, between 1994 and 2001. [82667]

§ Mr. MacShane
The information requested cannot be obtained except at disproportionate cost. Repayments of EU Structural Funds in the period concerned are largely in respect of pre-1994 programmes rather than the 1994–99 programmes which do not have to be closed until mid-2003.
