§ Mr. John Fraserasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when funds allocated for the St. Barnabas community centre, Bristol, will be released under the inner cities partnership programme.
§ Sir George YoungI have reaffirmed my commitment to fund up to £185,000 through the traditional urban programme for additional works at the centre.
The next step is for Avon county council, in conjunction with the St. Paul's Community Association, to draw up draft contract documents with fully detailed cost estimates and drawings. When my Department has received these documents consideration will be given to the issue of formal grant approval.
