§ Matthew GreenTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister pursuant to his answer of 24 February 2003,Official Report, column 263W, on the New Deal for Communities, what the administrative budget was for each financial year. [102680]
§ Mrs. RocheThere is no annual New Deal for Communities (NDC) administrative budget. However over the 10 year programme each NDC must not spend more than 10 per cent. of its allocation on management and administration. In the early years NDC's admin expenditure will be a higher percentage of its total spend than in later years. This is because early on each NDC has to set itself and its systems up before it can start getting projects under way.
