HC Deb 08 May 1984 vol 59 c327W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the titles, nature and value of urban programme projects which were postponed or cancelled in 1983–84 as a result of the 80 per cent. increase in the funding of projects designed only to benefit ethnic minority groups; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

The growth in the urban programme in 1983–84 was larger than the growth in funding of ethnic minority groups, thus enabling us to fund more projects overall.
