To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement relating to the distribution of RECHAR moneys in East Durham.

Mr. Sainsbury

East Durham is part of the Durham RECHAR programme area, which has been allocated £8.7 million of RECHAR grants for 1992 and 1993. The programme is now under way. A seminar was held for prospective applicants and a first round of applications has been invited for 26 June. A programme monitoring committee, chaired by an official of my Department, will be responsible for the selection of projects to receive grants. The committee will be formally constituted on 25 June.
