HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c84W
Mr. J. Enoch Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, for the latest convenient period to date, what is the total of non-quota EEC aid to Northern Ireland and the amount of that total which related to cross-border projects.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Nil. But the Commission has recently put forward proposals for the use of the non-quota section of the European regional development fund. These envisage 8 million units of account for projects in border areas in Northern Ireland. These proposals are now the subject of consideration by the Council of Ministers and the Assembly.
