HC Deb 05 June 1986 vol 98 c614W
Mr. Knowles

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will be approving any further proposals submitted to his urban housing renewal unit; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

I am pleased to announce my right hon. Friend's favourable response to proposals for a further five schemes submitted by the London boroughs of Haringey and Wandsworth, Nottingham city council and Newcastle city council. All these schemes, which have been worked up in close collaboration with the Department's urban housing renewal unit and regional offices, involve improved housing management from local estate-based offices.

The estates which will benefit from today's decisions and resources to be made available in 1986–87, which have been agreed in principle, are:

region by BSC (Industry) Ltd. in each year since it was established; and how many are expected to be created in the current year.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The information is not available in the form requested. I shall write to my hon. Friend when I have the information.
