Ann Winterton

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister pursuant to the answer of 2 February 2004,Official Report, column 739W, on European Regional Funding, what the level of matched funding is (a) in financial terms and (b) as a percentage of EU funding for each of the regions for the period 2000 to 2006; and to which financial years the figures relate. [155077]

Mr. Raynsford

Tabled as follows are the budgeted levels of match funding both in total financial terms and as a percentage of the total programmes for 2000 to 2006, for the North West, North East and Yorkshire and the Humber regions. Regions have discretion to vary the levels of actual spend between years and we expect some programmes will do so, up to the absolute deadline of 31 December 2008.

European funding programmes operate to calendar years. The domestic financial years to which these figures relate are from 1999–2000 (part) to 2006–07(part).
