Derelict Land Grant

Mr. Hooley
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the allocations of derelict land grant for the current and previous financial year to the counties of England and Wales.

Mr. Giles Shaw
Details for each county in England of the aggregate amount of the allocations made so far to county and district council's for grant-aided expenditure in the current financial year are set out in the table.Under the expenditure control arrangements for 1981–82 provision for derelict land reclamation expenditure was included in the Other Environmental Services block allocations. The figures in the table for that year detail the amount which local authorites in each county spent on approved reclamation schemes out of these allocations.------------------------
