Mr. Rooker
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the contribution of the inner city programme to voluntary groups in Birmingham.
Mr. Ridley
In 1985–86, one third (£8·6 million) of the Birmingham inner city partnership programme supported 465 voluntary sector schemes. The partnership aims to help inner city residents help themselves and this is often achieved through voluntary sector projects. £9·8 million of the 1986–87 programme has been set aside for the voluntary sector demonstrating increased support from the urban programme.
