HC Deb 21 November 2001 vol 375 cc360-1W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list for each year since 1979 in(a) cash terms, (b) real terms and (c) as a percentage of the UK total, the total value of EU moneys spent in Scotland. [16178]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Details of all EC receipts which have been paid in Scotland are not held centrally for this period. However, table 14d of the Departmental Report of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Departments (Cm 5116) contains information on receipts from the EC budget, by Department, and fund, since 1995–96 including for the Scottish Office (now Scottish Executive) (the UK's EAGGF Guarantee receipts are shown in the table under the Intervention Board). Similar information for earlier years was published in previous reports.
