SRB allocations to each region for 1997-98 for continuing programmes, including estate action, will be determined shortly, following last month's Budget statement. The Government offices in each region then manage their total SRB allocation and have flexibility to vire between programmes where necessary, in order to ensure that all existing estate action commitments continue to be honoured. Regional SRB allocations for subsequent years will be determined by the outcome of future public expenditure surveys.
