Alan Johnson [holding answer 28 October 2002]: I have been asked to reply.
In 2001, the European Investment Bank invested Euro2,337 million (#1,469 million) in respect of projects in the UK. This comprised individual loans (for projects in a single sector or region) of Euro1,734 million (#1,090 million) and global loans (for projects covering more than one sector and/or region) of Euro603 million (#379 million). Individual loans focused on energy (Euro144 million (#91 million)), communications

(Euro736 million (#463 million)); three-quarters of which were for improvement of telecommunications networks, water management, together with urban infrastructure (Euro641 million (#403 million)) and health and education (Euro212 million (#133 million)). Information on individual projects has been published in the EIB's Annual Report 2001, a copy of which is available in the Library. Information on the EIB's project pipeline is available on the EIB website (www.eib.org). This includes information on loans signed, approved and under appraisal. Annual Reports can also be accessed from the website.
A total of Euro8,434 million (£5,174 million) will be available from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for projects in the UK over the current funding period, 200006. As with the European Investment Bank funding, detailed information on individual projects could be obtained only at disproportionate cost as it is not held centrally by the DTL However, if you are interested in a particular ERDF or EIB-backed project, please write to me again and I will endeavour to obtain the relevant information.
