HC Deb 30 January 1985 vol 72 c211W
41. Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what are the implications of his revision of regional assistance in the United Kingdom for the availability of European regional development funds.

Mr. Trippier

The increase in regional area coverage and the changes to the regional development grant scheme will improve the United Kingdom's ability to take advantage of assistance from the European regional development fund.
