HC Deb 08 March 1988 vol 129 c119W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what additional funding his Department has allocated for neighbourhood revitalisation schemes.

Mrs. Roe

The National Home Improvement Council has been allocated grant in aid of approximately £2 million towards the costs of setting up neighbourhood revitalisation services schemes throughout England.

Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those local authorities which have received allocations in their housing investment programme for neighbourhood revitalisation schemes.

Mrs. Roe

No specific capital allocations have been given to those local authorities co-operating with neighbourhood revitalisation services in setting up agency services schemes. The Department's regional controllers take the establishment of the NRS scheme into account in exercising their discretion over housing investment programme allocations.
