HC Deb 02 April 1990 vol 170 cc477-8W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give the totals of(a) urban development grant and (b) derelict land grants in the borough of St. Helens in each of the last five years.

Mr. Moynihan

No project in St. Helens had received an urban development grant (UDG) by the time of the cessation of UDG in May 1988. Under the successor to UDG, city grant, I approved a grant of £6.33 million in October 1989 for a scheme to reclaim a derelict and contaminated site for a new housing development close to the town centre. This is the largest city grant so far awarded.

The totals of derelict land grant are as follows:

£ million
1984–85 0.455
1985–86 0.694
1986–87 0.007
1987–88 0.498
1988–89 0.405
