HC Deb 24 March 1975 vol 889 cc62-7W
Mrs. Kellett-Bowman

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will specify the grants and loans which have been approved for the north-west area from the European Agricultural Giudance and Guarantee Fund since 1st January 1973.

Mr. Peart:

No loans have been approved. The Guidance section of the Fund is committed to pay £11.9 million in grant towards United Kingdom individual projects under the Community's 1973 Individual Project Scheme and the first allocation under the 1974 scheme. The Commission has not yet decided on the projects to be included in the second allocation. Details and location of United Kingdom projects approved under the 1973 scheme and the first allocation of the 1974 scheme are below.

A geographical breakdown of the FEOGA contribution to grants made for common and special measures under the Guidance section of the Fund is not available. The United Kingdom has so far received about £20,000 as a contribution towards 1973 expenditure on such measures. Claims for 1974 expenditure have not yet been submitted.
