HC Deb 06 May 1986 vol 97 c36W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the total amount received in Northern Ireland from the first programme of the non-quota section of the European Community regional development fund by (a) shipbuilding districts and (b) border districts.

Dr. Boyson

Under the first shipbuilding measure, some 1.7 million was made available to Northern Ireland, of which £1.1 million has been received to date.

The first border areas measure made available some £4.5 million of which £2.8 million has so far been received.

Final claims under both measures, which expired at the end of 1985, will be submitted to the Commission during the current year.
