HC Deb 24 May 1979 vol 967 c225W
Mr. John Grant

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will support additional resources for the EEC regional fund.

Sir Ian Gilmour

I outlined on 18 May my views on public spending on a Community basis. We will consider any proposals for expanding the regional development fund in this light, and in the context of the need to redress the United Kingdom's inequitable net contribution to the Community budget.
