HC Deb 27 January 1976 vol 904 c111W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will specify the amount of grants made to Scotland, England and Wales, respectively, from the EEC Social Fund in the last 12 months for which figures are available.

Mr. John Fraser

Allocations from the European Social Fund are made in respect of calendar years. The last year for which firm figures are available is 1974, when, it is estimated, allocations to Scotland, England and Wales were, respectively, £5.4 million, £12.7 million and £3.5 million.
