25. Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assistance his Department will give to West Cumbria development agency in the promotion of the Marypride project. [23943]

Mr. Oppenheim

Maryport is an assisted area. Any proposals for investments which create or safeguard jobs would be considered for support in accordance with the normal criteria for regional selective assistance. West Cumbria is also an objective 2 area and is eligible for European funding for business support measures, training and re-skilling activities.
