HC Deb 02 March 1972 vol 832 c169W
88. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the application of the London Borough of Lambeth under the urban aid programme was cut from £101,000 for 24 projects to £13,000 for five projects.

Mr. Sharples

There has to be some limit on the total amount of new expenditure approved each year under this grant-aided programme, and this means being selective. Lambeth have fared no worse in this respect than most other authorities.
