Further to Parliamentary Question No. 351 of 9 October, I set out below a table showing the number and value of projects submitted, and the number and value of projects approved, in respect of each of the 18 areas covered by the Young People's Facilities and Services Fund.
The selection criteria used in reaching these decisions are also attached. Furthermore, the Deputy should note that the completed selection criteria sheets in respect of all 70 eligible projects submitted were sent to the relevant Development Groups.
