§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much of the receipts from the European Community's regional development fund have been awarded to(a) infrastructure projects undertaken by regional and island councils, (b) infrastructure projects carried out by the state, (c) industrial concerns and (d) other programmes; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 16 December 1992]: Since 1975 Scotland has obtained assistance from the European regional development fund under a variety of measures and programmes. Not all the records are held centrally, most are in manual form, and none is categorised in the manner set out in the hon. Gentleman's question. Accordingly, the information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
