HC Deb 26 June 1986 vol 100 cc299-302W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide a breakdown of expenditure under the urban programme in each of the last three years (a) on capital account and (b) on revenue account by each of the following: (i) the public sector, (ii) the private sector and (iii) voluntary organisations; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

This information is not available in the form requested. Urban programme expenditure is expenditure by local and health authorities, supported by central government grant. Some of this expenditure takes the form of local authority grants to private firms or voluntary bodies. Additional expenditure by such bodies in support of urban programme projects is not centrally recorded.

For 1985–86, however, it is estimated that urban programme expenditure was as follows:

(£ million)
Capital Revenue
Local authorities/health authorities of which: 207 112
Grants to voluntary bodies 32 43
Projects involving* private sector participation 58 6
* This includes UDG, other grants and direct support to firms; business advice services; local enterprise agencies; business

promotion. Certain works benefiting specific firms in Industrial Improvements Areas (IIA's) are included, but not the majority of infrastructure works designed to assist local businesses.

Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much has been spent in each area in each of the last three years under the partner authorities scheme (a) on capital account and (b) on revenue account; and it he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

The amount spent under the urban programme in each of the partnership authorities over the last three years is set out in the following tables:
