§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken to ensure that a second phase of the RECHAR programme is maintained; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SainsburyThe 11 United Kingdom RECHAR programmes do not have phases. They run from 1989 to 1993. Thereafter it would be more effective if structural funds assistance to eligible coal-mining areas was channelled through the general structural funds programmes covering the areas concerned.
