HC Deb 20 November 1992 vol 214 c436W
Ms. Janet Anderson

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what additional funding for assisted areas status provision will be made available(a) for Barnsley, Doncaster and Mansfield and (b) elsewhere.

Mr. Sainsbury

Assisted area status determines eligibility for Great Britain regional measures, primarily regional selective assistance. In all assisted areas spending on regional assistance depends upon the demand for the schemes and will be met from the schemes' agreed funding provision.

Mr. Milburn

To ask the President of the Board of Trade (1) how many delegations he has met arising from the assisted areas review;

(2) how many submissions he has received as a result of the assisted areas review.

Mr. Sainsbury

[holding answer 18 November 1992]: My ministerial colleagues and I have met 52 delegations and received 1,550 formal written responses to the assisted area map review public consultation document issued on 9 June 1992.
