HC Deb 08 December 1997 vol 302 c407W
Sir Richard Body

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much funding of European Union projects for 1996 operated through the actions ponctuelles. [17263]

Mrs. Liddell

I have been asked to reply. A very small amount of the European Community Budget—less than 1 per cent. of the total—was spent on non-significant actions (including "actions ponctuelles") in 1996.
