HC Deb 10 June 2002 vol 386 cc1028-9W
Ms Shipley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how much investment is committed to neighbourhood renewal programme in the next five years; and how that budget is divided between revenue and capital spending. [59856]

Mr. McNulty

I have been asked to reply.

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has a 10-year commitment to New Deal for Communities partnerships of £2,152 billion, of which £753 million is expected to be capital and £1,399 million revenue.

The total budget provision for neighbourhood renewal programmes, including NDC and NRF, in the current year is £727 million. Of this, £165 million is in DTLR's Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) and £562 million is in the DTLR and Local Government Resource DELs.

Detailed annual budgets for 2003–04 to 2005–06 for NDC and other neighbourhood renewal programmes are currently being reviewed in the context of the Spending Review.

Current best estimates of the split between revenue and capital spending on the established 'Partnership plans for New Deal in Communities funding, show this to be: 2002–03: £120 million revenue and £66 million capital and 2003–04: £172 million revenue and £93 million capital.

Development of all other neighbourhood renewal programmes commenced last year and detailed information on the split between revenue and capital of community plans flowing from these still has to be established.
