HC Deb 10 January 1990 vol 164 c626W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a list of the organisations within his area of responsibility which receive grants from the EEC.

Mr. Moynihan

Within the Department of the Environment's area of responsibility, EEC grants are made in the form of assistance from the European regional development fund for certain infrastructure schemes. In accordance with criteria laid down or established by the European Commission, assistance is available for schemes wholly or substantially financed by public authorities, or by other organisations responsible in a similar way, for the carrying out of infrastructure works. A list of such organisations is not available, but they include local authorities, transport undertakings and certain charitable organisations.
