§ Mr. LeslieI have been asked to reply.
The principal funding that this Department has provided to Luton from 1997–98 to date is shown in the table. These figures include grants and borrowing approvals for revenue and capital expenditure.
It is not possible to determine how much of this money has been directly spent on Luton, South. It is for the local authority to decide where within its boundary these resources are applied.
The transport allocations shown are for the Luton/ Dunstable conurbation which includes part of South Bedfordshire district.
The information shown is not fully comprehensive—such information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
