§ Mr. Raceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement concerning the rejection by his Department of urban aid programme funds for supporting the continued work of the Tottenham community project.
§ Mr. KingThe Tottenham community project application submitted by Haringey borough council for a further period of urban aid grant was given very careful consideration. It had already received central Government support under the urban programme for 10 years and, given the relative priority attached by the local authority to the project, the costs applied for, and the keen competition for funds, the decision was not to approve this particular project. Nevertheless, Haringey secured approval to 10 out of its 14 time-expired projects.
