Grants

Mr. McLoughlin: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list the grants funded by his Department for which individual members of the public and organisations may apply; and if he will make a statement as to (a) the total of such funding in the last financial year, (b) the total number of awards and (c) their administrative costs. [82195]

Mr. Leslie: Grant programmes funded by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for which the public or organisations may apply are listed below, together with the total expenditure outturn for 2001–02.

In addition funding from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister supports some grants payable by local authorities and some grants payable by the Housing Corporation (the latter mostly to registered social landlords).

The number of awards made under each programme is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Many of these grant schemes are administered by intermediaries, such as local partnerships, or voluntary bodies, who are responsible for specific grant allocations.

The administration of grant programmes is carried out by a number of different units within the Office and Government Offices to which a range of staff make a contribution. It is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of these costs centrally. A small proportion of the totals given above may relate to the administration costs of bodies such as partnerships managing programmes.

Housing Market Initiative

Mr. Kilfoyle: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what criteria were set governing the allocation of pilot projects to given areas under the Housing Market Renewal Fund initiative. [83875]

Mr. McNulty: The areas invited to establish low demand pathfinder projects were identified in two ways. First, we analysed data from the statistical returns compiled by local authorities as part of the Housing Investment Programme and, where available, local housing market studies undertaken by the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (Birmingham University). Second, we looked at the scale of the low demand problem across housing markets, rather than individual local authorities. We sought to identify the most acute problems of low demand in terms of scale and intensity of the problem.

Local Authority Housing

Mr. Pickles: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many Council households have been transferred under stock transfer in each local authority area, in each year since 1997. [83406]

Mr. McNulty: The table lists those local authorities that have undertaken large-scale voluntary transfers since 1997 and the number of Council households in each transfer.

We have interpreted Mr. Pickles' question to mean Large Scale Voluntary Transfers. These are transfers by a single local authority of 500 or more households to a single landlord within any five-year period.
