§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are the contents of the special support programme for peace and reconciliation which has recently been submitted to the European Commission. [33040]
§ Sir John WheelerThe guidelines for the special support programme makes provision for a range of measures under the five priorities of employment, urban and rural regeneration, cross-border development, social inclusion and industrial development/productive investment. It is expected that the programme will mirror this provision. As the submitted draft is still being negotiated between the member states concerned and the European Commission, it is not possible to give definitive details of the content.
