I propose to take Questions Nos. 56 and 66 together.
There is no record in my Department of an application for a scheme at this location. Under the recently announced decision to devolve responsibility for the operation of group schemes to local authorities, it will in future be a matter for the relevant local authorities to decide on grant applications not already approved.
