§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what European Union financed projects are under way in the Greater London area. [15303]
§ Ms KeebleThere is a wide range of European funded projects running in the Greater London area, some of which are funded through the UK Government and some directly from the European Commission. These include the European Union Framework Programme, Eureka, and LEONARDO.
The largest sources of funding available in London through the UK Government are the Structural Funds—the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund. These are worth £570 million to London over the period 2000–06.
