HC Deb 04 May 1994 vol 242 c528W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out the sums given to each London borough for the year 1994–95 for the tenants' cash incentive scheme; and how each sum is arrived at.

Sir George Young

The table shows the additional Government resources allocated to London borough councils for cash incentive schemes in 1994–95.

In assessing bids and allocating the £16.2 million my right hon. Friend took account of a number of factors, including: how the housing needs of the area would benefit from a cash incentive scheme; the general needs index for the authority; the amount the authority proposed to allocate to the scheme from its own resources, and whether it had the means to do so; whether the authority had previously run a successful scheme; and the value of encouraging a local authority to run a scheme for the first time.
