  THE EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND AND GRANTS UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM ACT 1969
  Lord O'Hagan
  asked Her Majesty's Government what sum of money they have issued in grants under Section 4 of the Development of Tourism Act 1969; and how much each year has been reimbursed by the European Regional Development Fund.

  The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Lord Cockfield)
  The following figures show grants paid to tourism projects in England, Scotland and Wales under Section 4 since the sheme began in 1971. Alongside are figures for ERDG allocations to private sector tourism projects in Assisted Areas from 1975, when the Fund came into being, until August 1982 when Section 4 coverage was extended to the whole country.
