22 Jan 2003 : Column 399W—continued

City of London

Harry Cohen: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister for what reasons the City of London received the ceiling in the recently announced local authority grant settlement; and if he will make a statement. [91876]

Mr. Leslie: The City of London gained primarily from the "fixed costs" elements in the Education and EPCS blocks to reflect the diseconomies of scale faced by smaller authorities and the increased weighting for daytime visitors and commuters in the Highways and EPCS blocks.

Community Projects

Jeremy Corbyn: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what powers he has to ensure that local authority income from the sales of schools and community buildings is invested in the community on specific projects. [92341]

22 Jan 2003 : Column 400W

Mr. Raynsford: Local authorities are free to use these receipts for any capital purpose in accordance with Office of the Deputy Prime Minister policy of giving authorities increased financial freedom.

Flood Protection

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much was paid in grant to each local authority in respect of (a) coastal defence and (b) flood protection in each of the last five years; and how much will be paid to each local authority for 2003–04. [89643]

Margaret Beckett: I have been asked to reply.

Defra provides grant to local authorities for flood defence and coast protection capital works which satisfy essential criteria. Authorities may claim grant on eligible expenditure during the construction of works. Details are provided in the table for the grant paid to each authority for each of the last five years. For 2002–03 the amount shown is that paid to date. Allocations to all operating authorities for 2003–04 are still being considered.
