§ Mr. ToddTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he has reached agreement with the European Commission on the definition of enterprise grant areas in England; and if he has defined aid measures to which these areas might be entitled. [98679]
§ Mr. CabornThe definition of enterprise grant areas in England is not subject to Commission approval. We are however, currently seeking European Commission approval of the criteria for the Enterprise Grant Scheme in England due to start on 1 January 2000.
