HC Deb 13 May 1999 vol 331 c205W
22. Mr. John Smith

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to provide funding to allow objective 1 EU projects to proceed. [83210]

Mr. Milburn

The funding arrangements for EU projects are a matter for the Departments, and devolved administrations, which administer the Structural Funds programmes as well as the individual project applicants. Departments' and devolved administrations' overall expenditure is decided in the Comprehensive Spending Review.
