HC Deb 26 January 1981 vol 997 c280W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will estimate how much of the refund due to the United Kingdom from the European Economic Community budget will be spent on public spending projects in the Northern region.

Mr. MacGregor

The European Commission has still to reach a decision on the amount of the Community contribution under the Supplementary Measures Regulation to be made towards public investment programmes in the Northern region.
