§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list those local authorities which have submitted applications for financial assistance under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 for the year 1995–96 and the total value of each application submitted; if he will list applications which were excluded because they were received out of time; what is the total amount of grant available for distribution under section 11; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas Baker[holding answer 10 January 1995]: The authorities listed in the table have submitted applications, in the main for two or three years, indicating a requirement in relation to 1995–96 for the level of section 11 grant shown. To date, no such application has been excluded as out of time. following the announcement by my right hon. and learned Friend on 22 November, Official Report, column 64 that the amount of funding on offer was being doubled, it is expected that grant allocations of around £30 million will be made to authorities and other eligible bodies in respect of 1995–96.
