HC Deb 16 January 2002 vol 378 c351W
Mr. Gareth R. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions when he will announce the allocations to local authorities for disabled facilities grants in 2002–03. [28375]

Ms Keeble

My Department is today announcing an £88 million programme of support for the payment of Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), by local authorities in 2002–03. This programme pays for 60 per cent. of all DFG expenditure with the remainder being found from the local authorities' own resources. We will shortly be writing to each local authority in England to inform them of their allocation.

I have today placed tables showing the DFG allocation nationally, regionally and for each local authority in the House of Commons Library.
