HC Deb 12 June 1991 vol 192 c586W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what approvals he intends to give for estate action funds for the refurbishment of the St. Martin's estate, Tulse Hill, London SW2.

Mr. Yeo

The Department did not offer estate action support for 1991–92 to Lambeth council towards the cost of its proposed work on the St. Martin's estate as the application failed to satisfy the objectives of the programme. No other application is being considered. The Department would be willing to consider a new bid for this estate in a future year, but approval would depend on the quality of the proposed scheme in competition with other bids received.

Mr. Knapman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the budget for the estate action programme in the current year.

Sir George Young

The estate action budget for 1991–92 is £268 million.
