HC Deb 21 March 1985 vol 75 cc545-6W
Ms. Harman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) which time-expired projects relating to provision for the under-fives submitted under the inner cities programme for refunding in 1985–86 have been refused or part approved; and in the case of part approvals, what are the figures for grants in 1984–85 and 1985–86;

(2) if he will list the under-fives projects submitted for funding under the traditional urban programme 1985–86;

(3) which local authorities which have received traditional urban programme funding for under-fives projects in the past will not receive it in 1985–86;

(4) how many traditional urban programme time expired projects for the under-fives have been submitted for refunding; how many of these will not be refunded; and if he will list them by authority.

Sir George Young

Detailed information about urban programme projects specifically for the under-fives is not collected, as many projects cater for a wide range of ages and activities. Figures for part approvals for such schemes in 1984–85 are therefore not available. For 1985–86, decisions have yet to be taken on applicatons under the traditional urban programme, except for holiday play-schemes, and on inner area programmes submitted by partnership and programme authorities.
