HC Deb 07 July 1998 vol 315 c507W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much European Social Fund money was paid to Whitbread Brewers in 1996 for the World Class Manufacturing Project by Gwent Tertiary College. [49430]

Mr. Hain

The handling of European grants by GTC is currently being investigated by the Department of Employment Fraud Investigation and Audit Unit and by Gwent Constabulary. It would not be appropriate to comment on individual ESF cases while these investigations are underway.
