HC Deb 12 December 1975 vol 902 c396W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures the Government envisage for future support of community and social welfare projects in deprived areas after the phasing out of the urban aid programme.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The urban programme consists of capital projects and non-recurrent non-capital projects; and of recurrent non-capital projects. These last are grant-aided for five years in the first instance, but the grant may be renewed at the end of the period if the original social need continues.
