Second European Poverty Programme Mr. Hicks asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the organisations, their projects and the financial amounts involved whose applications his Department have submitted to the European Economic Community Commission under the provisions of the second European poverty programme; and if he will make a statement. Mr. John Patten The United Kingdom Government submitted 245 applications for financial assistance to the European Commission under the Second European Community Programme to Combat Poverty. The organisations are listed. The projects relate to the themes for the programme as follows: ------------------------------------------------- | | ------------------------------------------------- |Long term unemployed people | ------------------------------------------------- |Young unemployed people | ------------------------------------------------- |Elderly | ------------------------------------------------- |Single parent families | ------------------------------------------------- |Refugees | ------------------------------------------------- |Second generation immigrants | ------------------------------------------------- |Multiple client groups including rural projects| ------------------------------------------------- The funds sought from the Commission by each project vary between £25,000 and £200,000 in most cases. It would be disproportionately costly to extract and set out the title and exact amount sought for each project individually.
