Mr. David Watkins
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what amount of the £10 million special allocation for the exceptional problems of Consett and Scunthorpe announced in January 1981 has been spent or committed; and what funds have been spent or allocated on what projects.
Mr. King
About £2½ million of derelict land clearance grant has been committed to date for reclamation of the former Consett steelworks site and about £1 million had been spent at 30 September this year.No special funds have as yet been committed for reclamation of the former Scunthorpe works and no expenditure has been incurred.
