§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much each local authority has asked for to pay for land reclamation schemes in their areas in the current financial year; and how much they have been allocated.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI regret that it would require a disproportionate effort to provide the information for local authorities individually. In total their bid for 1982–83 was £71 million. The total public expenditure provision is £44.7 million. The allocations are being made to232W authorities accord with this latter sum. I shall write to the hon. Member with more details of allocations when they have all been made.
