asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how much money Northern Ireland has been allocated in each of the financial years since 1 January 1973 to date from the European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund; how much Northern Ireland received in each year; how much of these receipts each year were paid to the private sector; and how much to the public sector;(2) how much Northern Ireland's share of the United Kingdom's payments into the EEC was for each financial year from 1 January 1973 to date; how much were the receipts; how much of these receipts represented a cash addition to the whole Northern Ireland economy; how much of these receipts each year is used to offset part of the Government's expenditure on Northern Ireland; how much of these receipts each year represented a straight addition to the money otherwise available to the recipients and hence a cash addition to the whole Northern Ireland economy; and how much of these each year was used to offset part of the Government's expenditure in Northern Ireland receipts.

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
