HC Deb 27 March 1991 vol 188 c453W
19. Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total expenditure planned by the Rural Development Commission for the Isle of Wight.

Mr. Trippier

The Rural Development Commission estimates that its main programme expenditure on the Isle of Wight during the financial year 1991–92 will be around £800,000. This will be spent on workspace provision and a range of projects likely to help the local economy and the local community. In addition, the Commission's redundant building grant scheme and its business advisory service are available on the island.
