EU Funding (Hansard, 19 July 2004)

§ Mr. Foulkes
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the construction projects in each region of the UK which have received whole or partial funding from the EU in each of the last five years, broken down by local authority area; and what the value of the EU funding was(a) per project and (b) as a percentage of the total cost. [184520]

§ Mr. Boateng
Information on UK receipts from the EC budget can be found in Table 3.3 of the 2004 European Community Finances White Paper (Cmd 6134). Detailed information on individual projects is not held centrally, and the question could only be answered at disproportionate cost.

§ Mr. Foulkes
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the total value of funding received by each region of the UK from the European Union in each of the last five years, broken down by type of funding; and what the value of matching UK funding is in each case. [184521]

§ Mr. Boateng
The UK is eligible for EU spending through Structural Funds, which is managed by DTI, the Common Agricultural Policy, which is managed by DEFRA, and internal policies, which are managed by DTI, DfES, DWP, DCMS, the Department of Health, the Department for Transport, and the Home Office. Information on UK receipts from the EC budget can be found in Table 3.3 of the 2004 European Community Finances White Paper (Cmd 6134).
Detailed information on individual projects is not held centrally, and so the actual funding received in each year by region, broken down by type of funding, and the value of matching UK funding, could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
