HC Deb 28 November 1995 vol 267 c540W
Mr. Orme

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what grant was made to Consortex in the last year; and how it has been spent. [2884]

Mr. Eggar

A sum of £92,500 of European funding under the RETEX programme was awarded to Consortex in the last year. Of that amount, £12,835 was spent on staff costs in respect of work carried out before the project was terminated. Attempts are being made to re-allocate the balance.
