HC Deb 19 February 1986 vol 92 c214W
Mr. Holt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what resources he is proposing to make available under the urban programme in 1986–87 to the non-specifically designated districts.

Mr. John Patten

Despite the great pressure on public expenditure this year, the allocation for 1986–87 for industrial and commercial projects to be carried out by the other designated districts will be the same in cash terms as that for 1985–86. The total sum available for allocation is £8 million and the provisional allocation on a regional basis is:

£ million
Northern Hartlepool 1.55
Langbaurgh
North West Burnley 1.10
Wigan
Merseyside Sefton 1.10
St. Helens
Yorkshire and Humberside Barnsley 1.85
Doncaster
Rotherham
West Midlands Walsall 0.55
Greater London Ealing 1.85
Haringey
Southwark
Newham
Greenwich
Lewisham

Allocations to individual authorities are made subject to the quality of individual projects submitted. Additional resources, over the above allocations, will be available to these authorities for approved urban development grant schemes.
