HC Deb 25 March 1991 vol 188 c295W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for 'Wales whether he has taken steps with the European Commission to press for an extension to the programme timetable for the Dyfed-Gwynedd-Powys national programme of Community interest for a further two years; and if he will make a statement on the expenditure pattern of the programme to date.

Mr. David Hunt

The European Commission has already agreed funds to enable the Dyfed Gwynedd Powys programme to continue until the end of 1993. Out of a total ERDF commitment of £79.4 million for 1987 to 1991, £51.2 million has already been committed and I anticipate that the remaining funds available for allocation in 1991 will be taken up.
