HC Deb 20 March 1991 vol 188 cc122-3W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much of the £15 million in EC grants for the United Kingdom's fish marketing and processing industry for the period 1991 to 1993 will be allocated to Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the implementation of this scheme in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Hanley

Of the £15 million in EC grants, some 1.5 million has been separately allocated to Northern Ireland The scheme is open for applicants, but is competitive and not all applicants can be guaranteed support. I hope that the Northern Ireland industry will make full use of the moneys available.
