Mr. Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what grants are available to assist with the cost of decontaminating recycled land in Wales; and what grants have been available in each of the past 12 years. [32421] Mr. Hain: The Welsh Development Agency (WDA) currently administers the Land Reclamation Grant and Urban Investment Grand (UIG) schemes in Wales. These may provide assistance towards the cost of dealing with contamination which is either part of a reclamation scheme or, in the case of UIG, is part of a more comprehensive redevelopment proposal. Land Reclamation Grants have been available from the WDA in each of the past 12 years. UIG was introduced and administered by the Welsh Office in April 1989. Prior to that, an Urban Development Grant scheme was available and could have provided assistance. On 1 October 1996, the responsibility for administering the UIG scheme was transferred to the WDA.
