Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is his policy on accepting new applications for urban development grants for projects in the towns of Enniskillen, Omagh, Strabane, Armagh, Dungannon and Cookstown.
§ Mr. NeedhamThere are insufficient resources under the urban development grant scheme (which is funded by moneys voted by Parliament) to pay grants outside Belfast and Londonderry. The International Fund for Ireland has made grants available in district towns and other urban areas under the urban development programme. I have asked the chairman of the fund board to write to the right hon. Gentleman.
