Commission for the Built Environment

HC Deb 01 July 2003 vol 408 c261W

Dr. Murrison

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what funding the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment receives from the Department. [121339]

Mr. Caborn

I have been asked to reply.

This year (2003–04) the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) will receive £3.53 million grant-in-aid from DCMS. CABE will also receive up to £7.35 million from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, primarily to reflect the commitment to urban parks and green spaces made in the Government's policy document "Living Places: Cleaner, Safer, Greener" and the priorities set out the Communities Plan published in February 2003: "Sustainable Communities; Building for the Future".
