§ Ms RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list those cities which are currently receiving, or which have in the past received, funding under the safer cities programme giving(a) the dates of commencement of the safer cities programme in each city, (b) the original planned completion date of each project as first announced and (c) the current planned or actual completion date of the programme for each city; and if he will show the amount of funding received by each city in each year since 1989 to the present date under the programme for (i) running costs, (ii) grants and (iii) other costs.
§ Mr. Charles WardleTwenty projects have been funded under phase 1 of the safer cities programme and 10 more have recently commenced under phase 2. A list of the projects with their start dates is shown in table A. When the phase 1 projects were set up, funding was guaranteed for a period of three years, after which decisions on alternatives, such as locally derived funding, would be made. Government funding for 16 of the phase 1 projects ceased in March 1994. The more recently established projects in Derby, Hammersmith and Fulham, Leicester and Middlesbrough will continue to receive funding until September 1995. The contracts with the managing agencies for the phase 2 projects run for three years.
5WThe amounts of funding for each project in each year Date project since 1989 are set out in tables B, C and D. The figures for running and other costs are not readily available and are only approximate based on estimates.
