Motion Text
That this House notes the serious state of economic decline in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly which set it apart from its neightbours; further notes that with a gross domestic product per capita of 69 per cent. of the EU average and falling, the region's economy deserves urgent and effective attention; and supports the de-coupling of Cornwall and Scilly from its neighbours for the purposes of statistical representation as a European region for securing Objective 1 status in the next round of European Structural Funds.
