§ Mr. Peter Walker[holding answer 9 March 1989]: (a) The main urban programme and special and supplementary allocations in cash and real terms for all Wales for each of the years since 1979–80 is shown in the following tables:
Notes:
1. The allocations in real terms have been derived by the application of the GDP deflator at market prices with 1988–89 as base year.
2. Boundaries for district councils do not correspond to boundary of Valleys Programme area and the figures in table b above do not include allocations for county councils.
