§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list by each objective and by each other community initiative, including Rechar and Interreg, the value of assistance received under the European regional development fund both nationally and for each standard region of the United Kingdom for each year since 1989. [31359]
§ Mr. Eggar[holding answer 29 June 1995]: European regional development fund allocations to the United Kingdom for the period 1989 to 1994 are given in the table. Figures on individual community initiatives by standard region are not readily available and could be produced only at disproportionate cost. Only those community initiatives that have been adopted by the European Commission so far have been included in the figures for 1994.
