§ Mr. VazTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the total amount of unallocated funds available under the single regeneration budget and the areas for which these funds are being considered.
§ Mr. BaldryIn the current financial year—1994–95 —the funds available under the single regeneration budget will be taken up in meeting existing commitments from the programmes which have been brought together in the Budget.
In 1995–96, on current estimates, it is expected that about £100 million will be available to support new bids from local partnerships. The budget will be available throughout England. Guidance on bidding for these funds has been published by my Department today, 14 April. Copies of the guidance have been placed in the Library of the House.
