HC Deb 21 December 1981 vol 15 c328W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has for the urban programme for inner city areas which do not qualify as partnership and programme areas or as designated districts.

Mr. King

[pursuant to his reply. 18 December 1981 . c. 224.]: Authorities in this category are eligible for help under the traditional urban programme. Applications for funding or projects starting in 1982–83 are now being considered and the results will be announced in February 1982. As a result of revisions announced by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 9 December—[Vol. 14, c. 865–866.]—the resources available for new projects will be increased.
