HC Deb 16 June 1986 vol 99 cc371-2W
Mr. Richard Page

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the number of applications and amounts of those applications by each of the countries involved against the size of the ESPRIT budget.

Mr. Pattie

Information of this nature is supplied to member states on a confidential basis and its disclosure is a matter for the Commission, under the ESPRIT regulations. I am therefore asking my officials to write to the Commission on my hon. Friend's behalf with his request.
