Mr. Ridley

[pursuant to his reply, 6 July 1987, c. 55] Amounts of derelict land grant paid to individual authorities for each year since 1979 are given in the following table. Figures are not yet available for 1986–87, nor is it possible to split the figures between category A and category B projects.
