HC Deb 06 March 1980 vol 980 c342W
Mr. Fry

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what aid, under which headings, has been received from the European Community in each year since 1973 for transport projects in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Goodhart

Grants received from the European regional development fund for transport projects in Northern Ireland began in 1975, and were as follows:

posals for a transport infrastructure fund; what projects his Department has put forward for consideration for Community aid; whether he is satisfied with the projects indicated for aid in the Commission documents; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodhart

The European Commission memorandum on the role of the Community in the development of transport infrastructure is a consultative document; the question of application for Community aid for particular projects does not arise at present.
