HC Deb 30 April 2001 vol 367 c533W
Mr. Linton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much each London borough received in rounds one and two of the Home Office CCTV Challenge Fund allocations. [158784]

Mr. Charles Clarke

We are now running a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Initiative, which replaced the earlier CCTV Challenge Fund. In round one of that initiative a total of £17.4 million was awarded to 52 schemes submitted by London boroughs. The shortlist of bids recently announced under round two of the CCTV Initiative includes 30 schemes from London boroughs, with a potential capital value of £19.1 million.

A list of these schemes in London boroughs awarded funding under round one of the CCTV Initiative, and those that have been invited to the final stage of round two of the CCTV Initiative, has been placed in the Library.
