Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs where funds diverted to the Treasury from the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme since 2003 have been spent, broken down by (a) region and (b) project. [184643] Mr. Morley: As part of the reform of the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme approximately £84/92/92 million has been allocated to sustainable waste management in England (£100/110/110 million to the UK as a whole) for the financial years 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06. A new public expenditure programme, delivered jointly by Defra and the Waste and Resources Action Programme, has been established for England. The new Waste Implementation Programme is designed to accelerate progress towards meeting the landfill directive targets. The Waste Implementation Programme is taking forward a package of strategic measures recommended by the Strategy Unit in "Waste Not Want Not", published in November 2002. Key areas of action so far (including indicative three-year funding allocations) include the following: £ million _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Project Budget allocation Four programmes for waste minimisation 40 Kerbside taskforce to help local authorities maximise potential 15 for kerbside collection of recyclables and to boost the recycling of organic materials Programme for education and awareness 30 Two programmes for data and research 22 Programme of development of new technologies, including pilots 37 Programmes designed to help local authorities with their recycling 10 strategies, and ensure they are offered targeted assistance _________________________________________________________________________________________________. In addition to these programmes, the Waste Implementation Programme contributed £29 million in 2003-04 and 2004-05 to boost Defra's Waste Minimisation and Recycling ("Challenge") Fund. This fund provides project-based funding to local authorities to enable them to roll out high-quality recycling and home composting schemes in their area. The Waste Implementation Programme has also provided £20 million in targeted grants to local authorities in 2004-05. This grant is designed to reduce the pressure faced by councils to fund services such as waste management through increases in council tax.
