§ Mr. CorbettTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what are the planned spending allocations for local community safety and crime prevention initiatives from the single regeneration budget for the financial years 1995–96;, 1996–97; 1997–98 and 1998–99;
(2) what proportion of the single regeneration budget the estimates will be allocated to local community and crime prevention initiatives;
(3) in which ways he proposes to fund local community safety and crime prevention initiatives (a) in Birmingham and (b) nationally through the single regeneration budget.
§ Mr. BaldryThere are no fixed, centrally determined, spending allocations for categories of initiatives supported by the single regeneration budget from 1995–96 onwards. Subject to on-going commitments, and the funding requirements of the non-departmental public bodies supported by the budget, the level of spending on categories of initiatives such as local community safety and crime prevention will be determined by the success of relevant bids put forward for support by local partnerships in accordance with the bidding guidance for the Budget issued on 14 April 1994, copies of which are in the Library of the House.
