Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much Northern Ireland has received from the European social fund in each year from 1 January 1973 to 31 December 1980; how much of these receipts were paid to the private sector and how much to the public sector; how much each year represented a cash addition to the Northern Ireland economy; and how much was used to offset Government expenditure in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Adam Butler

I shall reply to the hon. Gentleman as soon as possible.
