HC Deb 17 November 1972 vol 846 c245W
Mr. Roderick

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from what source regional policy within the European Economic Community will be financed.

Mr. Nott

A regional development fund will be set up before the end of 1973 to be financed from the Community's own resources. In addition to national funds, the funds of a number of existing Community institutions can be used for regional purposes.
