HC Deb 22 February 1978 vol 944 cc660-1W
57. Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has made to the Commission of the EEC in relation to increasing the level of assistance to Wales from the EEC Regional Fund.

Mr. John Mortis

Within the terms of the EEC Regional Development Fund regulation, the administration fund within the United Kingdom is a matter for Her Majesty's Government. The fund will be substantially increased in 1978 and Wales as well as the United Kingdom will benefit. I discussed EEC assistance to Wales with Signor Giolitti, the Commissioner for Regional Policy, when I met him last October.
