Mr. Allan Stewart
The resources of the urban programme are not allocated in the form of regional budgets. However, the table gives details for the urban programme of approved project expenditure aggregated for each of the six regions in question and including approved expenditure by both regional and district councils for 1989–90 and 1990–91. The table also provides corresponding information on actual expenditure which is available only for 1989–90. No information is provided for 1991–92 as decisions have still to be taken about the distribution of a substantial portion of the resources which will be available in that year.-----------------------
