The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government (Baroness Andrews): The tables below list the principal councils that have submitted proposals for new or revised parish arrangements which were outstanding at the time of my reply to the noble Lord on 3 July 2007. Table 1 lists the 12 parish cases that have been dealt with under the Local Government and Rating Act 1997; Table 2 lists the 15 cases which the Secretary of State has approved or will shortly decide, and in relation to which she intends as necessary to make orders under the 1997 Act; and Table 3 lists the 21 cases which we intend will be dealt with under transitional provisions following commencement of Part 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007.

Neighbourhood Renewal Fund
Lord Greaves asked Her Majesty's Government:
Which projects have benefited from the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund in each qualifying district and unitary authority in Lancashire in (a) each of the last three years, and (b) the current year; which bodies were responsible for delivering the projects; what was the purpose of each of them; and how much funding each received. [HL1340]
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government (Baroness Andrews): There are six local authority districts in Lancashire which qualify for Neighbourhood Renewal
24 Jan 2008 : Column WA70
Fund (NRF) as follows: Blackburn with Darwen (unitary), Blackpool (unitary), Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Preston. The reporting requirements have varied over the period for which information is requested due to the introduction of Local Area Agreements (LAAs) in Lancashire with effect from 1 April 2006 when NRF was pooled in the two unitaries. The detailed performance management of projects funded by NRF has been the responsibility of local authorities, as accountable bodies, in consultation with their Local Strategic Partnerships.
The Government do not formally require reporting on the level of detail requested in the Question. The tables below reflect the information which local authorities were required to submit in their quarterly returns and statements of grant usage. In the current year, 2007-08, NRF is paid as part of the LAA grant and is unringfenced, meaning there are no separate reporting requirements.
