§ Mr. ByersTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what amounts are available under objective 4 of European structural funds for the retraining of existing employees in 1994–95; and how much has been applied for and spent in 1994–95. [17342]
§ Miss WiddecombeA total of 3,377 million ecu is available for spending in Great Britain under objective 3 and 4 of the structural funds between 1994 and 1999. The Government announced their intention last year to concentrate available funding on helping unemployed people under objective 3. Therefore, nothing was applied for or spent under objective 4 in Great Britain in 1994–95.
