HC Deb 15 March 2004 vol 419 cc64-7W
Mr. Flook

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much funding has been(a) applied for and (b) paid out to each region from European Union Structural Funds to date; and how much it is planned that each region will get in total from these funds. [161126]

Jacqui Smith

[holding answer 12 March 2004]: Details of the amounts of European Structural Funds applied for and paid out to each region since the Funds first became available in the United Kingdom are not kept centrally. Compiling these figures now could be done only disproportionate cost.

However, I can provide the allocation by region of Structural Funds for the period 2000–06, which is shown in the following table:
