§ Mr. Bestasked the Secretary of State for Wales when he will announce the capital allocations for individual local authorities.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsOn 26 November I announced that the total capital allocations for 1987–88 in Wales would be £369 million. On the same day, authorities were informed of the allocations that I have made for housing (£154 million). A package of special urban programme schemes totalling £2.4 million was announced on 27 November.
665WThe major remaining component of local authority capital allocations is distributed on a formula basis. These allocations, together with those for major road schemes and projects of regional or national importance and special projects, will be notified to local authorities today. In total they amount to almost £188 million. Authorities will then have the information that they need to plan their detailed capital programmes for the coming year. Allocations for remaining schemes under the urban programme, totalling almost £24 million, will be announced early in the new year.
Details of allocations for individual authorities have been placed in the Library.
