HC Deb 25 July 1989 vol 157 cc623-7W
Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he intends to provide additional sums of money to the housing association development programme (Northern Ireland) 1989–90 to cover the approved schemes for the mentally ill and handicapped.

Mr. Needham

No. Such schemes are being provided for within the existing budget.

Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will estimate how much money will be available under the housing association development programme (Northern Ireland) 1989–90 to fund new projects.

Mr. Needham

It is estimated that £7.6 million is available in the 1989–90 year to fund:(a) new starts, that is, schemes which will receive tender approval to commence work on site; (b) other schemes up to an advanced stage of planning but not to commence on site this year.

Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give further assistance to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and the voluntary housing associations to assist those persons who are homeless.

Mr. Needham

The Executive has the statutory responsibility of providing assistance to the homeless. The Executive has not asked for increased in-year funding for the homeless, whose needs for future years will, of course, be carefully considered during the public expenditure survey.

Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list in theOfficial Report the names and addresses of those housing associations which have applied for funding in 1989–90.

Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list in theOfficial Report those schemes which have been assured of finance from the Housing Association Development Programme (Northern Ireland) 1989–90 together with the sums of money allocated.

Mr. Needham

The inclusion of individual schemes in the housing association development programme does not in itself guarantee that the scheme will proceed. This will depend upon compliance with agreed procedures, costs and standards and on the availability of resources. On that basis, no schemes are assured of finance. Nevertheless those schemes which have been included in the programme for possible tender approval during 1989–90, together with the capital "allocations", are as follows:
