HC Deb 20 December 1983 vol 51 c218W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what progress there has been on restoring to Mid-Wales access to assistance under the European regional development fund.

Mr.Nicholas Edwards

Following discussions, most recently in the Community's Regional Policy Committee, the Commission has now indicated that the way is clear for applications to be considered for those parts of Mid-Wales covered by the scheme of aid announced on 28 June 1982. My officials will very shortly be approaching public authorities in the area aabout the submission of applications during 1984.
