§ Mr. Frank FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 31 March,Official Report, columns 919–20, if he will update the information on urban regeneration spending given in his answer of 18 March 1993, Official Report, columns 365–67, so as to correspond with the single regeneration budget information sought in the later question.
§ Mr. BaldryThe table updates the one provided in the answer on 18 March 1993 and includes figures for the additional programmes which have now been brought together in the single regeneration budget. In the case of some of the programmes transferring from other Government Departments only part of the programme has been brought into the single budget. The figures for expenditure in previous years on those programmes relate to the element of the programme which has become part of the single budget, as far as those can be separately identified.
The following programmes, now absorbed within the single regeneration budget, have previously operated only within urban priority areas: urban development corporations, urban programme, city challenge, task forces, city action teams, GEST 19 and safer cities. In future, resources for new projects funded from the single regeneration budget will be available throughout England.
In addition, economic, social and physical regeneration is supported through main programme expenditure by several Government Departments.
