§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the resources attracted to Scotland from each European Community fund(a) in the past five financial years and (b) projected for the next three financial years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StewartThe European Commission allocates moneys on a calendar year basis. The Community budget beyond 1993 is likely to decided at the Edinburgh summit. It is not therefore possible to forecast what funds may be available for Scotland beyond 1993. The table sets out the information available on awards to Scotland under the main funds since 1988. There are other smaller EC funds which are of benefit to Scotland but figures for these are not held by the Scottish Office.
Government-supported expenditure for each local authority area by (i) region, (ii) district and (iii) on a per capita basis for each of the past five financial years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StewartThe information requested, from 1990–91, the year in which aggregate external finance (AEF) was introduced, to 1992–93 is given in tables 1 to 3 in descending order of AEF per community charge payer.

AEF figures revenue support grant, non-domestic rate income and specific grants (except urban programme specific grant, figures for which are not readily available). Community charge grant is also included for 1991–92.
2. Government support expenditure (GSE) consists of grant aided expenditure and loan and leasing charges.
3. The per capita figures have been calculated using the number of community charge payers on which AEF was originally distributed for each of the years.
4. The GSE per capita figures are in broadly the same descending order as those for AEF but not in every case. This is because some expenditure which is supported by AEF is not included within GSE (eg. urban programme expenditure).
