HC Deb 03 March 1994 vol 238 cc789-90W
Mr. Robert Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the schemes given city grant in the north-west region in the last two years with the amounts in each case; and what were the amounts of any clawback of grant.

Mr. Baldry

The schemes in the Department of the Environment's north-west region for which the provision of city grant was approved since April 1992, and the approved level of grant, are set out in the table. None of these schemes has yet reached the date for determining the level of any clawback. The urban development corporations offer their own grants analogous to city grant; schemes funded in this way are not included.
