§ Lord Lairdasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 8 September (WA 8), why proportionality of the Special European Union Programmes Body was taken into consideration in the consideration of the 2003 budget; and why the proportionality of the Ulster-Scots Agency was not considered. [HL5089]
§ Baroness AmosI refer the noble Lord to the Answer given on 8 September 2003 (WA 8).
A revision to the proportionality of funding for the 2003 budget for the Ulster-Scots Agency was not considered necessary as there were no new factors arising to merit a change in proportionality.
