asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the level of aid to Stretford and Urmston under the urban aid programme for each of the years for which figures are available; and what is his estimate for the years 1973–74 and 1974–75.

Following is the information:

Year of approval	Value of approved projects (£)
	Capital	Non-Capital
1969–70	3,467	4,000
1970–71	44,650	2,000
1971–72	—	900*
1972–73	13,000	1,500†
1973–74	52,325	1,830
1974–75	To be announced later in 1974
Total	113,442	10,230

† 2 years.

In addition, running costs are usually payable for five years on capital projects. The non-capital figures show one year's running costs of non-capital projects. Unless otherwise stated, such costs are payable for each of five years.
