§ Mr. Norman Atkinsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider extending to the London borough of Haringey the chance of inner city partnership projects for the year 1984–85, or failing that if he will allow for grant purposes projects similar to those permitted as partnership projects in other similarly deprived local authority areas.
§ Sir George YoungHaringey's case for urban programme partnership or programme authority status was carefully considered when the list of districts designated620W under the Inner Urban Areas Act 1978 was last reviewed, in the light of detailed information about urban deprivation derived from the 1981 census. The outcome of the review was announced to the House on 15 February 1983—[Vol. 37, c. 161–162] when the list of designated districts was extended, although no changes were made in respect of partnership areas. No further additions to the list, or changes to the status of those authorities currently on the list are in view.
Authorities such as Haringey are able to apply for urban programme grant for similar projects to those submitted by the partnership authorities, either under the separate allocations made for industrial and commercial projects to the "other" designated districts, under which Haringey's allocation in 1983–84 is £396,000, or under the traditional urban programme for social and environmental projects —£481,000 in 1983–84. They may also submit suitable projects for urban development grant.
