HC Deb 26 October 1993 vol 230 cc530-1W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the launch of the 1994 environmental action fund announced on 16 August.

Mr. Yeo

Since the launch of the environmental action fund for 1994, applications have now been received and are being assessed. I have asked the Civic Trust, which manages the local projects fund on behalf of the Department, to extend its remit to include the management of all new projects commissioned in 1994. The Department will continue to manage existing projects and strategic funding.
