§ Mr. FraserTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out in theOfficial Report the total amount of urban programme grants for the London borough of Lambeth for each of the last five years including the year 1989–90; and if he will indicate the extent to which each year's grant represented an increase or decrease in real terms on the previous year.
§ Mr. TrippierThe total amount of urban programme grants paid to the London borough of Lambeth in the years 1985–86 to 1988–89 was as follows:
Year Grant £ 1985–86 4,984,243 1986–87 5,070,520 1987–88 5,162,332 1988–89 4,268,983 The amounts paid over to the authority to date are in respect of final claims for 1985–86 and 1986–87. Amounts paid for 1987–88 and 1988–89 are in respect of interim grant claims; final claims have not yet been submitted for these years. All grant claims are subject to audit certification, and none of the above has yet been so certified. Any analysis of increase or decrease in grant levels would be premature.
