(2) on what date grant disbursement was made to United Kingdom private mines listed in the European Union press release on 13 December 1994

Mr. Page

Having consulted my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Scotland and for Wales, I confirm that all the private mining companies which have been authorised to receive investment aid under decision No. 2064/86/ECSC are given in the European Commission's press release dated 13 December 1994.

Payments against the offers of grant are released by instalments depending upon the capital investment made and jobs created.
