Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities from(a) England, (b) Scotland, (c) Wales, (d) Northern Ireland and (e) the United Kingdom have participated in the exchange of experience programme sponsored by the Council of European Municipalities and Regions; what are the corresponding amounts of (i) financial support received from the European Commission and (ii) total spending under the programme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

This information is not collected by central Government. The exchange of experience programme is managed in the United Kingdom independently of central Government and participation in it is a matter for individual authorities.
