HC Deb 14 June 1978 vol 951 c564W
15. Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he had yet allocated any expenditure to the Birmingham partnership area under the land reclamation scheme.

Mr. Freeson

£1,228,000 has been allocated for 1978–79. Additional funds will be made available following designation of inner Birmingham as a derelict land clearance area. We have asked the city and county councils to submit bids for additional expenditure as soon as possible.
