§ Mr. Weitzmanasked the Secretary of State for the Environment which projects have been approved for grant aid under the main phase of urban programme circular No. 17.
§ Mr. Guy BarnettMy right hon. Friend has approved 396 capital and non-capital schemes for urban aid to begin this year in 89 local authorities. Of the £10 million available, about £6 million will go on capital projects, £2 million on the running costs of these projects and £2 million on non-capital projects. This is in addition to the £16 million for schemes submitted separately by the seven inner city partnership areas.
Voluntary organisations will be involved in the running of 180 of the approved projects worth about £3.8 million 305W and at least 104 of the schemes worth about £2.8 million will be of specific benefit to ethnic minority groups. I have placed a list of all the approved projects in the Library of the House.
