asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will detail all the grants and loans, from any EEC source, that have gone to the Yorkshire-Humber-side region since Great Britain joined the EEC.

Mr. Joel Barnett

Since 1st January 1973 the European Investment Bank has provided the following loans for projects in the Yorkshire-Humberside region:

In the same period the European Coal and Steel Community has made the following loans under Section 54 of the Treaty of Paris for projects in the region:

£ million
BSC Scunthorpe 27.75 (two loans)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food gave to the hon. Member for Lancaster (Mrs. Kellett-Bowman) on 24th March—[Vol. 889, c. 62]—for a complete list of individual projects approved for FEOGA Grant 1973.
