I propose to take Questions Nos. 4, 7 and 78 together.
The number and amount of grants recommended to me by each local authority under the amenities/recreational facilities scheme, 1990 is set out in a table which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.
The preparation of a statement giving details of each of the 3,968 projects involved would absorb a disproportionate amount of staff time. In any event, this information might more appropriately be obtained directly from the local authorities whose responsibility it was to process the applications.
In making grant allocations, I will take account of the desirability of the proposed work, the cost effectiveness of the project and the employment which may be expected to result. In addition, the need to distribute the available funds on an equitable basis to all areas of the country will be kept in mind.
