(2) if he will list those public projects which received European social fund support and were subsequently privatised over the last 10 years, indicating (a) the level of funding and (b) the dates when it was received. [21288]

None of the privatised companies for which my Department has responsibility has applied directly and received European social fund support since 1990. Information for the years before 1990 could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
