Answered by Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales | Answered on 23/09/2020

Please see below table providing a breakdown of overall expenditure and European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) spent on road infrastructure, rail track infrastructure, railway stations and information technology infrastructure for the 2000-2006 and 2007-2014 EU Structural Funds programmes, plus the commitment figures for these areas in the current 2014-2020 EU Structural Funds programme. Please note the figures for the current period represent commitment figures as many of the projects involved are still at an early stage of delivery and have until the end of 2023 to declare final spend.
