§ Mr. Andrew WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland which projects have to date attracted European Commission structural fund suppport, and how much.
§ Mr. LangTo the end of 1989, Scotland has benefited from project awards1 of around £1,268 million from the European Community structural funds. Details of the individual funds are set out in the table:
£ million European Regional Development Fund 869 European Social Fund 277 European Agricultural Guarantee and Guidance Fund 122 1 These figures relate only to projects: the Structural Funds have also provided, through the Agricultural Guidance Fund, assistance to pre-funded schemes such as livestock subsidies—some £290 million between 1979 and 1988. It is not practicable to list the projects individually because of the very large number which have been assisted.
