HC Deb 16 July 1999 vol 335 cc342-3W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what proportion of Single Regeneration Budget funds for schemes currently in operation has been spent on capital projects for(a) housing improvement and (b) new dwellings. [91701]

Mr. Meale

The Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) currently funds over 500 (Rounds 1–4) regeneration schemes managed by local partnerships. A large number of these are likely to have multiple objectives, and cover a wide range of activities depending on local regeneration needs and priorities. It is not possible to break down expenditure to say how much has benefited one objective, therefore no information is available on the amount spent on capital projects for housing improvement or new dwellings.
