HC Deb 02 June 1992 vol 208 cc370-1W
Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what funds have been allotted to the Yorkshire-Humberside area this year, last year and the previous year for urban programme fund projects.

Mr. Robin Squire

Total urban programme resources allocated to local authorities in the Yorkshire Humberside region this year, last year and the previous year are as follows:

£ million
1990–91 130.291
1991–92 134.207
1992–93 28.009
1 included supplementary allocations of £2.18 million in 1990–91 and £4.75 million in 1991–92 for special projects in Sheffield.

Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if the establishment of the urban regeneration agency will be achieved without any reduction in moneys at present allotted to the urban programme.

Mr. Robin Squire

The responsibilities of the URA have yet to be finalised, but I do not expect its establishment to affect future financial provision for the urban programme.
