HC Deb 23 January 1986 vol 90 cc294-5W
Mr. Silvester

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will detail the projects which have received assistance in Manchester under the traditional urban programme, the enhanced urban programme and the urban development grant schemes since 1979; and what is the total cost of these schemes to Government funds.

Mr. John Patten

Manchester city council is a partnership authority which, since 1979, has been allocated in total some £80 million urban programme resources. In 1984–85 alone the allocation was some £12 million and over 400 projects were considered. In addition, many GMC projects also benefitted the Manchester area. Four projects have received urban development grant totalling £5.2 million. It is impracticable to give details of all projects over the six-year period.
