HC Deb 10 November 1999 vol 337 cc630-1W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, pursuant to his answer of 25 October 1999,Official Report, column 656, for what reason approved State aid to the sectors listed is not broken down by country by the Commission; and if he will estimate the figures for each sector in each country. [97228]

Mrs. Liddell

Although the Commission surveys on State aid contain information on assistance to each sector across the EU, this information is not broken down by country. UK officials are discussing with the Commission ways in which the publication of data on State aid might be improved.

The detailed information is not therefore available in the form requested.
