HC Deb 22 October 1993 vol 230 c383W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give all details of European regional development funds which have been allocated for transport initiatives in the last 12 months and which are proposed for the next 12 months.

Mr. Stewart

No ERDF funds have been allocated to specific transport initiatives in the last 12 months. However, ERDF has part-funded many transport infrastructure measures including ferry services, passenger rail services, bus stations and cycle routes, and such projects will continue to be aided through the various Scottish objective 2 and 5b programmes as well as the new objective 1 programme in the Highlands and Islands. It is too early to say what schemes or initiatives might come forward in 1994.
