HC Deb 04 December 2002 vol 395 cc884-7W
Mrs. Calton

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister whal criteria are applied to give an area neighbourhood renewal status; and where such areas are located, broker down by constituency. [84183]

Mrs. Roche

The information requested is not broker down by constituency but the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund is allocated to local authority districts that fall within the 50 most deprived authorities on any of the six district level summary measures of the ward level Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD 2000). The six measures areIncome scale—the number of people experiencing income deprivation Employment scale—the number of people experiencing employment deprivation Local Concentration—tells us how severe deprivation is in each authorities 'hot spots' of deprivation Extent—the percentage of each district's population that live ii one of the 10 per cent, most deprived wards in England The 'average scores' and 'average ranks' measures are the average level of deprivation across the entire district

This brings in a total of 81 authorities. In addition there are transitional arrangements in place for seven other authorities that were among the 50 most deprived on the previous measure of deprivation, but which do not appear among the 50 most deprived authorities on the IMD 2000.

The following lists the 88 authorities current! receiving NRF funding.
