HC Deb 03 March 1981 vol 1000 c94W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the value of grants that have been given to the United Kingdom textile industry from the European Economic Community so far in the current year.

Mr. MacGregor

None. However, in 1980, which is the last year for which figures are available, £1.2 million was allocated to United Kingdom retraining and resettlement schemes under the part of the European social fund reserved for textile and clothing workers.
