§ Mr. Archerasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which private sector organisations in Northern. Ireland received capital cost conversion grants in 1985 and 1986 for residential premises for the elderly from (a) the Local Enterprise Development Unit (LEDU) and (b) the Department of Health and Social Services (Northern Ireland); what amounts were paid to each organisation in each case; and on what basis payments were made and what proportion of total conversion costs these formed in each case.
§ Dr. BoysonNeither LEDU nor DHSS pay capital cost conversion grant in respect of residential premises for the elderly. However, LEDU has offered assistance towards the cost of adaptation of premises for nursing homes for both elderly and other patients. This assistance amounted to £193,826 in respect of eleven projects in 1985 and £134,440 in respect of three projects in 1986. For reasons of commercial confidentiality it is not our practice to give details of individual projects.
