§ Mr. RowlandsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate his Department has made of the annual amount received in Wales from European structural funds between 1992 and 1999; and what percentage these amounts were of the total receipts received under European structural funds within the United Kingdom. [75856]
§ Mr. HainThe information is not available in the format requested since Structural Fund programmes run over a period of years. For the period covered by the present regulations (1994–99), Wales has been allocated £640 million from the Structural Funds, which represents 7 per cent. of the total United Kingdom allocation.
