programme, (b) the amount awarded to voluntary associations within that figure and (c) the proportion of the overall amount which is allocated for voluntary associations in respect of (i) Inverclyde, (ii) Strathclyde and (iii) Scotland as a whole.

Mr. Lang

The Government's public expenditure decisions, recently announced, will enable approved urban programme expenditure in Scotland in 1990–91 to rise to a total of £68.989 million. This represents a considerable increase over the 1989–90 programme.

Some £39.6 million of this will be taken up by existing projects. The balance will be taken up partly by adjustments to the costs and expenditure phasing of projects already approved, but mainly by new approvals arising from the 1990–91 competition, currently in progress.

Of the £39.6 million already allocated for 1990–91 some £23.1 million, 58.3 per cent. is for projects managed by community and voluntary groups. Approximately 64.7 per cent. of this amount is for projects in Strathclyde and 2.7 per cent. for projects in Inverclyde.
