§ Mr. Allen RobertsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment in what way he gives assistance to agencies in the United Kingdom for the purposes of securing funds under the European Commission's Action by the Community in the Environment regulations; and if he will make a statement on his policy toward the European Community level of ACE funding.
§ Mrs. RoeMy Department is in regular contact with agencies interested in applying for funds under ACE regulation, offering advice and guidance. We supported adoption of the regulation in the Environment Council and its renewal in 1987, and are satisfied with the level of funding being offered.
