§ Mr. Luardasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what provision has been made within the amount allocated to community services in Command Paper No. 6393 for current and capital expenditure under the urban programme.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonProvision for expenditure under the Urban Programme in Great Britain is as follows:
to cause explosions, seven with unlawful possession of explosives, six with conspiracy to possess or procure explosives with intent to endanger life, three with contravention of Section 1 of the Firearms Act 1968, five with conspiracy to defraud the Inland Revenue, 11 with theft, one with robbery, six with burglary, one with assisting offenders, two with causing criminal damage, two with attempting criminal deception, one with handling a stolen vehicle, three with handling stolen property, one with unlawful wounding, one with possession of drugs, three with wasting police time, one with causing an explosion, and one with harbouring a person known to have committed an arrestable offence. In addition, two people have been returned to the Irish Republic and there charged, one with robbery and one with burglary. One person has been returned to Northern Ireland and charged with conspiracy to cause an explosion.
Three people were charged with offences under Section 1 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1974.
I am afraid that it is not possible to give the outcome of these charges without disproportionate effort.
