HC Deb 06 February 1989 vol 146 c530W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Baldry) of 30 January,Official Report, columns 24–28, which are the inner cities programmes his Department is carrying out; what non-government organisations are taking part in such programmes; where each of these programmes is operating; and on what date each one was started.

Mr. Trippier

My Department's principal inner city programmes are described in the publication "DoE Inner City Programmes, 1987–88", which also gives an account of their achievements and development and contains a map of the areas in which they are operating. These programmes and the years of their inception are: urban development corporations (1981), grants for urban development (1982—now subsumed in city grant which started last year), the urban programme (1969), derelict land grant (1981 in its present form), enterprise zones (1981) and land registers (1981).

A large number of non-governmental organisations are making use of these programmes and it would not be practicable to list them.

Forward to
