HC Deb 13 November 1985 vol 86 c186W
18. Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has made to the EEC for the extension of the integrated development programme in the Western Isles and the possibility of extending it to the crofting counties.

Mr. Younger

Under my direction, my officials have been liaising with the European Commission about specific structures measures for some time. I understand that the Commission will shortly publish a package of specific structures proposals related to the Community area as a whole, both north and south.
