§ Mr. Mylesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list in the Official Report total receipts for Scotland from each of the European Community funds and the amounts received in loans for projects in Scotland from the European Coal and Steel Community, Euratom and the European Investment Bank since 1973.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherFinancial allocations from the European Community for projects in Scotland since 1973 are as follows:
£ million Grants European Regional Development Fund 197.7 FEOGA Individual Project Scheme 37.8 European Coal and Steel Community (steel only)* 3.8 European Social Fund† Loans European Investment Bank 575.8 European Coal and Steel Community (steel only)* 120.5 Euratom 25.0 New Community Instrument 16.3 * The National Coal Board negotiate ECSC grants and loans on a United Kingdom basis and the figures cannot therefore be broken down.
† Training schemes throughout the United Kingdom receive support from the European social fund but since the bulk of the receipts relates to schemes which are conducted on a United Kingdom basis it is not possible to allocate a figure for Scotland.
