Mrs. Fyfe: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the total of resources to be made available to social inclusion projects under (a) the New Deal and New Futures Fund, (b) new community schools, (c) early intervention schemes, (d) alternatives to exclusion (schools), (e) pre-school education initiatives, (f) new housing partnerships, (g) Rough Sleepers Initiative, (h) Empty Homes Initiative and (i) social inclusion partnerships (1) in Glasgow and (2) in Scotland. [78346] Mr. Macdonald: [holding answer 31 March 1999]: The Government have already allocated significant resources to these and other initiatives as part of their commitment to promote social inclusion in Scotland. The figures given relate to funding committed or estimated to be spent over the financial years 1999-2000, 2000-01 and 2001-02. For most of these programmes, some of the committed funds have yet to be allocated to specific areas of Scotland. Where this is the case, the figures given include the total already allocated; the amount already allocated to Glasgow; and the amount which remains to be allocated. Furthermore, some of the figures given are estimated rather than formal allocations. It is estimated that £290 million will be spent on the New Deals in Scotland in the next three years (1999-2000 to 2001-02). Of this, it is estimated that at least £54 million will be spent in Glasgow (no decision has yet been made on resources available for Glasgow under the New Deal for the Disabled). These figures make no provision for underspends in the period until March 1999. Of the £2.0 million that has been committed from the New Futures Fund (NFF) for 1999-2000 and 2000-01 a total of £1.1 million has already been allocated to projects in Glasgow. A number of other projects are still under consideration and may receive financial support during this period. Over the next three years it is estimated that a total of £12.4 million will be spent in Scotland on NFF projects. We plan to invest £26 million to pilot New Community Schools in every education authority over the next 3 years. On this basis, it is estimated that £1 million of the funds will be spent in Glasgow. Of the £42 million committed to early intervention schemes over the next three years, Glasgow will receive £4.5 million in total. Of the £24 million committed to alternatives to exclusion from school schemes over the next 3 years, £2.34 million has been allocated to Glasgow. Of the £111 million committed to pre-school education initiatives in the first of the next three years (1999-2000), Glasgow's provisional allocation is over £12 million. A further £269 million has been committed to Scotland for the 2 subsequent years (£131 million in 2000-01 and £138 million in 2001-02) but estimates of allocations are not available at this stage. Of the £208 million which has been earmarked to councils to support New Housing Partnerships (NHPs), £32 million has been earmarked for Glasgow. A total of £333 million has been committed to support NHPs in Scotland over the next 3 years. £125 million of that total has been set aside for assistance with debt in connection with whole stock transfers. Of the £7 million to be spent under the Rough Sleepers Initiative in 1999-2000, £2.4 million has been allocated to Glasgow. A further £14 million has been committed to the initiative in the following 2 years. £15 million has been committed to the Empty House Initiative over the next 3 years, of which £2.77 million has been allocated to Glasgow. £137 million has been committed to Social Inclusion Partnerships over the next 3 years, including £48 million for the new Social Inclusion Partnerships designated in Spring 1999. Of the total, £51 million will be spent in Glasgow, of which over £24 million relates to the new Social Inclusion Partnerships. From 1 July 1999 these programmes, apart from the New Deal, will be matters for the Scottish Parliament.
