HC Deb 14 June 1991 vol 192 c719W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money has been spent by way of the European Community's Renaval programme in(a) the Plymouth area and (b) north-east England; what kind of projects received sums of money in each of the two localities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Yeo

No ERDF grant has yet been paid to participants in the Renaval programmes in Plymouth nor the north-east of England due to their recent approval. However, within the programmes so far one project to the value of £1.6 million has been approved under the Plymouth programme for the development of industrial land. In north-east England eight projects have been approved to the value of £2.4 million. These are related to the development of land and industrial premises, and improving the environment and image of the area.
