§ Mr. Nicholas Wintertonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the level of urban development grants to Manchester inner city projects in 1981–82.
§ Mr. KingNo urban development grants have yet been paid to Manchester or any other authority, as this scheme does not begin until 1983–84. My hon. Friend may, however, have in mind the urban programme allocation to Manchester as an inner city partnership authority. This was some £11 million in 1981–82.
§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the number of urban development grants applied for by each qualifying local authority in England, including for each local authority (a) the total number of applications, (b) the total sum involved and (c) the breakdown of each total into (i) manufacturing, (ii) office, (iii) hotel and (iv) other projects.
§ Mr. Giles ShawTables 1 and 2 list the local authorities which have applied for UDG; the number of applications submitted; the UDG resources requested; and the types of project involved. It is not possible to provide information about individual applications for urban development grant for reasons of commercial confidentiality.
