HC Deb 02 December 1975 vol 901 cc576-80W
Mrs. Winifred Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, following the EEC decision of 16th October 1975 to grant financial aid to 655 projects from the Regional Fund of 1,234 million units of account from which the United Kingdom received 21,231 units of account for 236 projects, he will list: (a) successful projects by location, and the amount applied for and the amount granted, and (b) unsuccessful projects by location and the amount applied for.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

I have been asked to reply.

The amount allocated from the European Regional Development Fund in October 1975 was 160 million units of account. As far as the United Kingdom allocation is concerned, the amounts approved were identical with the amounts requested. No applications have been rejected.

The information requested is as follows:
